Well, it's another sleepless night
Gotta make it there by dawn
Left my heart back there in Abilene
So many miles already gone

It's another night alone
The one I love is on the road
Far and distant as a memory
Haulin' 'round some kind of load

Chorus:
And, on a clear night such as this
When the moon shines on the chrome
My mind wanders to the things I miss
And, all my thoughts are thoughts of home

Eighteen wheels spinning 'round and 'round
Going past the county line
The days are long, but with every mile,
I've always got you on my mind

Chorus

Wish I could close the space between us
Hear your footsteps at the door
Find a way to bring you home to me
See you walk across the floor

Chorus
