Lyrics
Two Days Out
Two days out on a four lane road
Another day of broken lines 'til he can head for home
Her picture on the visor catches the fading light
Two days out and he's missin’ her tonight
She puts on his favorite shirt, lies on his side of the bed
With her head on his pillow and a book that won’t get read
She looks at his picture as she turns out the light
Two days out and she's missin’ him tonight
His cold hard steering wheel is all he’ll hold tonight
His empty pillow is all that she’ll hold tight
Two days out and she's missin’ him tonight
His empty pillow is all that she'll hold tight
They share the emptiness of a cold and lonely night
Two days out and she's missin’ him tonight
He pulls in to an all night diner in east New Mexico
She wakes up once again, turns on the late night show
He stares into his cup of coffee, she looks at the phone
Two days out, it's another night alone
Another night, he’s miles from nowhere, another night she’s alone
They count the days ‘til the drivin’s done and/when they’ll share their nights at hom
Two days out on another missin’ night
Their undying love will get them through despite
The miles that come between them on a cold and lonely night
Two days out, it's another missin’ night
Bridge
It's hard hanging on when there's no one there to hold,
But the miles that come between them don't stretch their band of gold
Two days out and he’s missin’ her night
Their undying love will get them through despite
The miles that come between them on a cold and lonely night
Two days out, and she’s missin’ him night
Two days out and he’s missin’ her, she’s missin’ him, he’s missin’ her, tonight
