Two sad children

One sad mom

Standing at the front door

And then I am gone

On the road again

I leave them behind

To set sail on the highway

A new place to find

Enjoying the views

But I can't wait to be home

I miss them dearly

When I'm out there alone

The days go by

And time fades away

Oh the things I miss

When I'm out on the byways

The deliveries are done

My heart skips a beat

It's time to head home

And I'm in the seat

Shifting the gears

As I roll down the road

I think of my family

More precious than gold

I'll be there real soon

but not fast enough

I push for more speed

But no such luck

The company has governed

The speed on this truck

It now seems like months

Since I was last there

My wife and my kids

Are now full of cheer

I head to the door

I greet them and then

Before I can blink

I'm leaving again!
