Robert B. Ellis Lyrics
"Tour Song"

She'll find someone to talk to when she's feelin' all alone
And she'll find someone to cook for and to care for when I'm gone
She'll find someone to go with her to all the honky-tonks
And she'll find someone to dance with when the jukebox plays our song
Though I can't be with her, she is always on my mind
But there's so many things I can't do from a van in Caroline
Soon she'll start to wonder what it is that I provide
And why the hell a husband can't be by his woman's side

It's the choice I made
It's the price I'll pay

Just to hang out in some sh*tty bar, then spend ten hours in a car
And play and sing a couple songs, but they never let us play too long
'Fore they shut us down and kick us out and you move on to another town
Well, it ain't so glamorous as it sounds and I need her more than ever now

She'll find someone to help her to lift all the heavy loads
And when she wants to see a movie, he will take her to the show
Maybe she will ask him what he thinks of me and her
Well, he'll probably agree that I'm controlling and insecure
When I ain't there to help with all the duties of a man
She'll probably get to wonderin' what I'm doin' and where I am
Maybe she'll imagine me alone with someone else
And maybe she will think she ought to find someone herself

It's so hard to lay in this bed I made
In the back of a cramped up, dirty car
I'm drivin' out to some hipster bar
With people that I don't wanna see
But I appreciate the company
On an endless string of one night stands
With OK girls and sh*tty bands
A good one comes by now and then
But I long to be back home again

Home again
Oh, I hope she'll be there when
I come back home again
Home again
Oh, I hope she'll be there when
I come back home again

She'll find someone to tell her that she looks good in the dress
That one that I had sent her by the Federal Express
And in the shoes I bought her, she will walk by all the men
And everyone will stare and hope that she walks by again
I know that she loves me and I know her love is true
But when she needs some company what else is she gonna do?
She'll have some tough decisions that may try her achin' heart
But everything feels different from a million miles apart

I know just how to cope
How to keep my worries choked

I'll go out to the nearest bar
I'll shoot some pool and play some cards
Put the jukebox on A-32
The song that makes me think of you
I'll get so drunk that I can't stand
Or think of you with another man
And cloud the pieces of my mind
That remind me of what I left behind
