Story behind the song
My wife called me on the road one night while I was in Cloverdale, Indiana. She wanted me to hug her some words...sort of a goodnight kiss...well, the song say's all...

Lyrics
(Intro)
Hmmmm...
Yeaaaa..
Here I go honey
Out on that road for money
Tryin' to pay the bills with this old guitar
Another month or so without you
Is always hell on me too
Who's says sacrifice ain't hard
I'll be sure to call you once I get in
Kiss ya through that line
Say I love you and goodnight..(Yea) (Chorus)
(Chrous)
(But) you don't gotta say a word
Lets lay here and pretend I'm not leaving
(Yea) I know your heart it hurts
Try your best to hold on to (this) that feeling
I can feel your tears coming through my shirt
Lay (there) here silent darlin' (Bridge after second verse)
I know the words
Sometimes when I hear an old song
It doesn't really take me too long
To picture your face the day I married you
You ask me last night to hug you with some words
I took a deep breath and said
Let's start where we began
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I know the words
Though I'll never understand you're reasons why
How you can love a man so addicted to (these) words and rhymes
(slowly with feeling)
You don't gotta say a word...ohhh... nooo...nooo....
Lets lay here and pretend I'm not leavin' - I'm not leavin' - nooo....
(strong with power)
I know your heart it hurts
Try your best to hold on to that feeling
Ohhh..I still feel your tears coming through my shirt
Lay there silent darlin'
Yeah, I know the words
(Outtro)
Oooo..yea..whoaaa yea
Ooooo...I know the words
Ahhh...baby...baby
