If you were here, I'd never have a fear So go on live your life But I miss you more than I did yesterday You're so far away So c'mon show me how 'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say Oh baby here comes the sound I took a train outta New Orleans

I can't be bothered to miss you anymore Month 12, day 31, and hour 24 I used to think if I missed hard enough You'd come back for sure But I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore It's not like I don't have tears to cry Such memories, so little time

Been away a year today To wander and roam I don't care it's muddy there But this is my home Got my toes turned Dixie way 'Round the delta let me lay Dixie moonlight Swanee shore Headed homebound just once more To my Mississippi delta home

But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home I love you more than I did before And if today I don't see your face Say you love me more than you did before And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay And I'm sorry that it's this way Ooh oh, I miss you Ooh oh,

If you see him If you see her If you see him, tell him I wish him well How am I doing Well, sometimes it's hard to tell I still miss him more than ever But please don't say a word If you see her, tell her I'm doing fine And if you want to

I've never been down this road before As the days go by I only miss you more I thought one day we would touch the sky I never realized what you meant to me Till I tried drowning out your memory It only hurts when I'm sober But it runs burn like it's not

You don't ever let me down You got those cigarettes and cush No more cush I'm sorry that I'm late And I missed your call But you know night turn into day I didn't stop to pause I know I never see your face But I'ma fix all my mistakes

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair. And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And after the storm, I run and run

If you see him, tell him I wish him well Well, sometimes it's hard to tell I still miss him more than ever But please don't say a word If you see her, tell her I'm doing fine And if you want to

If you were here, I'd never have a fear So go on live your life But I miss you more than I did yesterday You're so far away So c'mon show me how 'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say Oh baby here comes the sound I took a train outta New Orleans
