(Holly Dunn/Tom Shapiro/Chris Waters)
Two a.m. in Austin that truck stop looks promising
But don`t they all
That Silver Eagle`s slowing down
Maybe there`ll be time enough to call
I don`t want to wake him but if I wait later then
I`ll miss my chance
I just want to hear his voice
I`ve just got to know he understands
I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us
Until then I send my love across the line
I wish that I could be there to show him
That he is where I`d rather be
But for now these words along the wire
Will have to take the place of me
I wonder if we ever know
The reasons why we take the roads
That drive us on
When all that really matters
Are the ones we always leave behind at home
I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us
Until then I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us
Until then I send my love across the line
