Sara Evans Lyrics
Missing Missouri
(Mark Kerr/Trent Tomlinson/Danny Wells)
I love my life, love my husband
Without those kids, man I ain't nothin'
I love my fans, love my band
Love my little Tennessee piece of land
Sometimes my life can get so hectic
And out of the blue, when I least suspect it
Somewhere between the hubbub and the drama
I get to thinking 'bout Mama and
Chorus:
I'm caught up in missing Missouri
'Cause I wanna be with my family
Instead of stuck out on this road I'm on
Every time my bus wheels hit the boot heel
There's no limelight, and I'm alright
'Cause I'm almost home
Where they love me, where they know me
Where they show me back in Missouri
The road just ain't no place for whiners
It's motels, truck stops, all-night diners
Hoping that your song'll sell
And having to smile when it ain't doing well
So when everything gets too much
And I feel like just giving up
I close my eyes and say a little prayer
And it's like I'm there and
Bridge:
Late summer nights sneakin' out the window
Me and the girls driving down the back roads
Tobacco fields and bumblebees
And the Cardinals playing on TV
