I put her hand in mind and told her it was time

There might have been a better way

Took off in the night, thought I was bird in flight

I didn't get that far away

And I knew I missed her

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I missed her

​

Found a place to stay, grabbed the first job came my way

Didn't think I'd be there long

'Cause every night it seemed, I saw her face in every dream

And heard her voice in every song

And I knew I missed her

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I missed her

​

Life don't give you second chances every day

Only a fool would let a sure thing slip away

​

So I turned the bike around

And headed back to my hometown

Raced right up to her door

But when I called her name, someone came out to explain

She don't live here anymore

And I knew I missed her

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I missed her

​

Life don't give you second chances every day

Only a fool would let a sure thing slip away

​

I knew I missed her

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I missed her
