There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
   And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
   I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
   Singing soft and low
  
   We're so far apart
   This old highway ain't home
   When the heartache starts
   I just turn the radio on
  
   There never seems to be time for me and you
   That's a price you pay for the life you choose
   Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
   It just goes on and on
  
   We're so far apart
   This old highway ain't home
   When the heartache starts
   I just turn the radio on
  
   It does my heart good to see you shine
   So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
   I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
   Calling me back home
  
   We're so far apart
   This old highway ain't home
   When the heartache starts
   I just turn the radio on
  
   We're so far apart
   This old highway ain't home
   When the heartache starts
   I just turn the radio on
  
   We're so far apart
   This old highway ain't home
   When the heartache starts
   I just turn the radio on
