Love I Just Can't Find

I guess I'm not one to write love songs
But our story just can't go down
As some little thing I tell my friends about
Or the late night calls when you're out of town

Sometimes it's hard to fight the need
To hear your voice at three a.m.
When the tears are pouring like the beers I drank
To get me through the days I just can't

Sometimes you'll apologize for it
Say it's not me, but it's all you and work
I guess I need to realize time is calling
For us to somehow heal all this hurt

And when you're lonely I'll drive the hundred miles
To your house on down south on the state line
And when I'm lonely I'll call a hundred times
To tell you you're the love I just can't find

You kiss some girl in a bar tonight
Who's had one too few & reminds you
Of the girl you met in front of an old bar
In a classic city singing of Georgia true

I'll find someone to hold me through the inbetween
Of your last weekend here back home
When you told me you loved me in a parkling lot
Laced in grass and cobblestone

And when you're lonely I'll drive the hundred miles
To your house on down south on the state line
And when I'm lonely I'll call a hundred times
To tell you you're the love I just can't find

I still write you letters sometimes like I did
The year that broke the two of us apart
You sat in sand while I'll played this dumb college girl
I sent you boxes and sent us back to the start

Your pictures are in a box hidden in my closet
I pull them our sometimes to remember who we were
We make promises that someday we'll come back to that
Just know that my home is where ever you are

And when you're lonely I'll drive the hundred miles
To your house on down south on the state line
And when I'm lonely I'll call a hundred times
To tell you you're the love I just can't find
You'll always be that love I just can't find
