Oh my sweet baby he is howling at the door
He's howling at the door to let him out
But I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna let him go
I will never let him go, cause he's been such a bad, bad boy
He sits there while his mama struggles with a fever
She can't sweat out
And all she wanted was for him to come see her
And clear away all her doubts
Oh my darling, I haven't seen you in so long
Can't believe it's been so long since I've seen your face
But I can't wait till I rise with the sun
When I rise with the sun I'll be on my way
We've spent the last six years living in different cities
But not once have we strayed
And I love that whenever we're together
All the distance between us melts away
Well I've got to go and I'm not looking back
Cause I can't stand it round here anymore
Well it's time to fly time to hit that cold wet road
To a place where I can start over
I'm going off now on my own and I know that I'll miss you
But I told you I just can't stay
And one day I'll be back and I'll make a point to visit
But that day is not this day
Oh that day is not this day
That day is not this day
I'll see you some day
I'll try to see you again someday
