I missed you And I missed the coast, It's been a long time since I hit the road. On rented trucks And lagging trains, I missed the times When these dreams were dreamt. I missed you so bad I gave you a different name in every song. I missed you, yeah, At almost every airport of the world. I missed you. I fell for a song And then got caught. Me just a kid, how was I supposed to know? These uptown girls All look the same, How could I have known, oh, it would turn out this way? I missed you so bad I gave you a different name in every song. I missed you, yeah, At almost every airport of the world. I missed you. Standing at a crossroads in Köln; Passing through Nagoya, Japan; In the streets of Paris for the First of May, I missed you all along. Think of all the landings I've been through, Hotel rooms I never got to use, So many nights out on the road, I missed you most of all. Yeah, I missed you. Learning is a tough one, my boy. Don't expect any shortcuts, there's none. Be careful what you wish for, It might become true someday. Learning is a tough one, my boy. Don't expect any shortcuts, there's none. Be careful what you wish for, It might become true someday. Someday.
