I thought that leavin' you
Was what I had to do
That town was just too small
For someone with big dreams
But these city side walks and busy streets

Ain't what I thought they'd mean to me, hell
I ain't had one good night sleep
There's not a second that I ain't missing you
Your smiling face or your baby blues
My heart keeps telling me it's time
For me to get back to you

I'm taking the high road back to the place
Where there are mountains and wide open space
Get back to where there's everything I love
Cause it's all wrong what we're going through
I've been to hell and back without you
Yeah we're meant to be, it took this to see
It's time to make things right
Get me back in your life

I can't seem to find one familiar face
It seems that no one cares in this cold, cold place
God, what I'd give to smell those green cornfields
I'd give my soul to hear those crickets sing
Hold you on your Mama's porch swing
Kiss you down by Miller's Lake
Like the time when we first met
There's not a heartbeat I ain't been missing you
Your smiling face or those baby blues
My heart keeps telling me it's time
For me to get back to you

I'm taking the high road back to the place
And get back to where there's everything I love
Cause it's all wrong what we're going through
I've been to hell and back without you
Yeah we're meant to be, honey you and me
Now it's time to make things right
Get me back in your life

I can't take no more missing you
Your smiling face or those baby blues
Tonight I'll drive 'til I cross that line
For me to get back to you

I'm taking the high road back to the place
Where there are mountains and wide open space
And get back to where there's everything I love
Cause it's all wrong what we're going through
I've been to hell and back without you
We're meant to be it took this to see
Now it's time to make things right
Get me back in your life
I want back in your life
I'm comin' back to your life
Oh, yeah
