| These days, they take a lot from me | 
| The long road, it just won’t let me be | 
| God knows it always brings you down | 
| I come home and try to make things right | 
| And I know it happens all the time | 
| When I go it doesn’t feel the same | 
| You, you don’t need to worry | 
| I am on your side when your heart is hurting | 
| There’s a letter in the bedroom drawer | 
| And a photo that you’ve seen before | 
| And I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| When you look into the children’s eyes | 
| You can see me on the other side | 
| 'Cause I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| I can’t wait to tell you 'bout last night | 
| I ran off before the morning light | 
| 'Cause I swear somewhere they were playing our song | 
| I didn’t know what I was looking for | 
| I didn’t know but I knew I’d be sure | 
| 'Cause you and I have never felt so strong | 
| You, you don’t have to worry | 
| Always on my mind when my heart is hurting | 
| There’s a letter in the bedroom drawer | 
| And a photo that you’ve seen before | 
| And I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| When you look into the children’s eyes | 
| You can see me on the other side | 
| 'Cause I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| You, you don’t need to worry | 
| I am on your side | 
| There’s a letter in the bedroom drawer | 
| And a photo that you’ve seen before | 
| And I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| When you look into the children’s eyes | 
| You can see me on the other side | 
| 'Cause I, I’m not that far | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| (I'm not that far) | 
| I’m not that far away | 
| (I'm not that far) |
