lyrics

You fell for a girl fell for wanderlust first.
Devil in the spirit that’s blessing and curse.
Makes the holding sweeter, makes it hard to hold on,
But can you love a girl gone so long?
Can you love a girl gone so long?
She got a soft shoulder, she got a hard eye.
Fix a trucker on his side of the broken white line,
But sleeps like it was the backseat home in your arms.
Can you love a girl gone so long?
Can you love a girl gone so long?
(chorus) Are you man enough to miss her,
Stay true when you can’t kiss her for three weeks on the road?
Waiting at the gate with a love so strong, makes her want to stay
Though she knows, though she knows, gotta be moving on.
Can you love a girl gone so long?
Won’t call home every night, but when she does,
She’ll warm your heart, quicken your blood.
Sends post cards, but knows where she belongs.
Can you love a girl gone so long?
Can you love a girl gone so long?
Do her wrong she’ll change her route.
Her hour layover will lay you out,
But be quick, confess that you were wrong,
And you can love a girl gone so long.
You can love a girl gone so long.
(chorus)
