THE BEST ROADS TRAVEL HOME

Honey, I’m out here on the road
Logging in the miles
Missing hugs and smiles
Driving…through the snow and rain
Drinking Coke and coffee
I’m just outside Milwaukee

And I can’t wait to be loaded in the morning
Into my seat, I’ll settle
Put the pedal to the metal
Girl, I’m tired…I’m tired of being alone
But of all the roads I travel
Through the potholes and loose gravel
The best roads travelled are the roads that travel home

Honey, how I love to hear your voice
You keep me wide-awake
Talk of fishing on the lake
Waiting…I’m just a state or two away
I’ll be there Friday morning
You’re getting plenty of warning

Girl, I can’t wait to be holding you again
Into my arms, I’ll take you
I’ll squeeze hard but I won’t break you
Girl...when we’re finally all alone
We’ll drink some wine and dance real slow
Then see just where the evening goes
The best roads travelled are the roads that travel home

Home to family…home to friends
And good times that never end
And all the things we like to do
Goodnight prayers and butterfly kisses
Front porch swings and full moon wishes
This is what I see down that road in front of me
And what I see is the road that leads to you

Honey, it’s just the kids and you and me
Church and BBQ on Sunday
I’ll be rolling out come Monday
Driving…through the snow and rain
Drinking Coke and coffee
I’m headed for Milwaukee

But I can’t wait to be driving home to you
Into my seat, I’ll settle
Put the pedal to the metal
Girl...I drive for you and you alone
And of all the roads I travel
Through the potholes and loose gravel
The best roads travelled are the roads that travel home
Yeah, they travel home…
The best roads travelled are the roads that travel home
