A thousand miles away, my baby's back at home
I'm just sitting in this hotel bar, staring at my phone
If I keep listening to the whiskey,
I'll drown in the time that I've been gone

There's always some new town I'll be rolling through
It don't matter where I go, It feels further from you
You keep whispering you miss me,
But there's nothing I can do

It's a lonesome high out here on my own
I can touch the sky, but I'm still all alone
Without you here to love me
Through this crazy amazing life
It's a lonesome high

I don't mean to complain
I'm a lucky one I know
I've been all around this world and seen the beauty that it holds
But the desert sky on fire doesn't burn like the distant lights of home

When the sun goes down
The headlights shine on whatever state I'm in
You lay down on your pillow and I go to work again
When you feel the absence in our bed
Baby, know you're not alone
Hold me close in your memory
Until the breeze blows me back home

Through this wild ever changing ride I'm on baby
This crazy amazing life
It's a lonesome high
