You're always traveling on that truck day out and day in
And when you get back home it's nice to have you here again
You'd never run around on me cause you're not home that long

And the reason we're together is because you're always gone
I'm glad you might hear all the time I guess that may sound strange
But I know you like your freedom and I know you'll never change
You stay home for a day or two and never do me wrong
But the reason we're together is because you're always gone
Yes the reason we're together is because you never
Stay home long enough to carry on
When you're on the road well maybe you got a little truckstop baby
But I don't know what happens when you're gone
[ steel - guitar ]
It's like a second honemoon when you come rillin' in
You always bring a present back from someplace you have been
And when you're here you always hold and kiss me till the dawn
But the reason we're together is because you're always gone
Yes the reason we're together...
No I don't know what happens when you're gone
