To all my friends up in Philly
And to my family down in Charleston too
For all my faults please forgive me
Didn't mean to be so rude
I miss my sister out in Rainbow City
I miss my mom and dad out in Columbia too
I only pray that you believe me
God only knows my words are true
My eyes water as I scan the night sky
And I dream of everything that we might do
I fall asleep praying please just let me wake up
I need another day to make it come true
It's been a wild time loving you
Hop on a plane out to the west coast
To San Diego to record some tunes
Spend some time out in the salt and the sand
Watch the waves by the light of the moon
I thought of you staring at the Grand Canyon
And in the bitter cold out in Niagara Falls too
I only pray that you believe me
God only knows my words are true
My eyes water as I scan the night sky
And I dream of everything that we might do
I fall asleep praying please just let me wake up
I need another day to make it come true
It's been a wild time loving you
I miss my friends up in Philly
I miss my family down in Charleston too
