"Things I Miss The Most" Lyrics

I swear I gave up drinkin
Sometimes I have no choice
After singin' hard six nights straight
A little sip sure helps my voice
Dont get me wrong, I love these songs
And I know I've got it made
Sometimes my mind starts driftin'
When I'm up here on the stage
To that last half mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
To those dogs out barkin' in the yard
And that tractor in the field
And those kids up on the front porch
Screamin' Mama, Daddy's home
When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'
Bout the things I miss the most
Yea the hardest thing I have to do
Is hang up this telephone
There's so much left to talk about
And I been gone so long
So put them kids on one more time
Before they go to sleep
And baby know, no matter where I go
All that I can see
Is that last half mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
To those dogs out barkin' in the yard
And that tractor in the field
And those kids up on the front porch
Screamin' Mama, Daddy's home
When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'
Bout the things I miss the most
The things i miss the most
The things i miss the most
And its killin' me
I hate to leave this family that youve given me
God only knows, I hate to go
So hold me close and let me let you know
About the things I miss the most
People always ask me
After every show
Of all the places that you've ever been
And what's your favorite place to go
It's that last half mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
To those dogs out barkin' in the yard
And that tractor in the field
And those kids up on the front porch
Screamin' Mama, Daddy's home
When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'
Bout the things I miss the most
While I'm out here im just thinkin
Bout the things I miss the most
