Lyrics
Won't you please save a smile for me
'Cuz I've got a long drive home
It is cold and the fog is making it hard to see
and I don't think I've ever felt this alone
I put in the tape you made me
when you were bored one day
You were just killing time
but it means more to me than I will ever say
I will be home
before the paper's thrown
Against my door
I will be home before
the mourning doves sing
The roads are winding and uneven
they're a mirror image of you
and the way you just cannot love me
But the way you claim you do
I've grown weary from the distance
like the way you've grown from me
And you say your life is none of my business
well, I disagree
I will be home
before the paper's thrown
Against my door
I will be home before
the mourning doves sing
Won't you please save a smile for me
'cuz I've got a long drive home
and I will be home
I will be home
before the paper's thrown
I will be home
