Some songs come easy. This song started out with that opening guitar riff and chord progression. It felt natural to answer each riff with a short vocal line for the verses. Everything fell into place. The pre-chorus, the chorus, the lyrics, the song pretty much wrote itself.

Sun comes up and the, sun goes down.
Every mornin' wake up a, different town.
The life I lead, gets me down.
Keeps turning round and round.
Highway truckstops, all I see.
Girls, money fame looks so, good to me.
But now I know, now I see,
the best things in life don't come so, easily.

So many miles and so many roads.
All I realy need is someone to hold. It's like a
love song, I heard, so long ago.
I'm so lonely without you now.
The nights are colder, I wish I could hold you right now.
I'm so lonely without you now.
The nights are colder, I wish I could hold you right now.

Gypsy's life, not for me.
There's somethin' else there, there for me.
It's so simple, can't you see,
in your arms is where I wanna be.
I hear your voice, call my name.
Without you girl it's, not the same.
I'll give up money, give up fame.
Just to be with you, with you again.

So many miles and so many roads.
All I really need is someone to hold. It's like a love song I heard, so long ago.
I'm so lonely without you now.
The nights are colder, I wish I could hold her right now.
I'm so lonely without you now.
The nights are colder, I wish I coud hold her right now.
