Performed by Jim Matt
Out on the highway
Six months on the road
This may come as a surprise
But I ain't happy, oh no
chorus
Where are you now
Every night I phone
How do you feel now
Now that we're both alone
Well if you feel like I do
Baby please come home
'Cause all my Wild Oats have been sown.
It took time but I realize
How the nights could get so cold
What I'd give to look in your eyes
What I'd give to hold you.
(chorus)
At night I wonder
How did I let her slip away
Then in a voice like thunder
In my dreams I scream her name
(chorus out)
