Two a.m. in Austin that truck stop looks promising but don't they at all
That Silver Eagle's slowing down maybe there'll be time enough to call
I don't want to wake him but if I wait later then I'll miss my good chance
I just want to hear his voice I've just got to know he understands.

I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us until then
I send my love across the line.

I wish that I could be there to show him that he is where I'd rather be
But for now these words along the wire will have to take the place of me
I wonder if we ever know the reasons why we take the roads that drive us on
When all that really matters are the ones we always leave behind at home.

I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us until then
I send my love across the line.

I send my love across the line
The road leads back to us until then
I send my love across the line.

The road leads back to us until then
I send my love across the line...
