There's a sadness in the air

On the train to Tennessee

And I know there's no angel watching over me



All I have to hold

Is this atlas and a note that reads

If ever you are ready to come home again

I'll be waiting up

But please don't be too long



You know I never meant to make you lonesome

But I got my own plans

And if you love me, understand

I've got to take this road to find out who I really am



So tonight, I'll take the long way home

And drink until I can't remember you

Or why I ever started



If I can't hold you

Gonna fold you like a note and keep you here

With me



Thought about your smile

On the car ride up to Madison

Are you still letting go?

Are you still letting go?



Cause I've been trying to move on

But I'm feeling so damn lost

Without your love

Without your love



Tonight, I'll take the long way home

And drink until I can't remember you

Or why I ever started



If I can't hold you

Gonna fold you like a note and keep you here

With me



I want you here

With me



Tonight I'll take the long way home

Won't you drink with me until the sun comes up?

Look at what we started



If I can't hold you

I'm gonna fold you like a note and keep you here

With me
