Postcard Lyrics

This is what I get

For wanting to see the country

Don't recognize my face

And I've gone hungry

At a truck stop in Kingman

Off Route 66

Hoping by morning

To make Palm Springs

Grab a cup of coffee

As the sun goes down

A freight train out back

Passes on to the next town

I watch the people come and go

Faces I'll never know

Out here it's only ghosts

I'll send a postcard

I miss you so hard

It's lonely out here

Do you still hold me near?

There's an eerie quiet

Just the moonlight on the road

I'm driving through the desert

And got my windows open

Stars are lighting up the sky

All I wanna do is cry

Maybe it's time to come home

I'll send a postcard

I miss you so hard

It's lonely out here

Do you still hold me near?

In my rearview mirror

I see a hint of light

A little while longer

And I'll make it through the night

Get myself back on a plane

Put me in the sky again

I've been gone for so long

I'll send a postcard

I miss you so hard

I'm lonely out here

Will you always hold me near?
