(Roy Drusky)

To want and need you here with me
And have to do without you (emotion)
To be apart but with you constantly
And never have to doubt you (devotion)
This can't be livin' like livin' should be
It's too hard on you and it's too rough on me.

Emotion and devotion and a plain ol' fashion notion
Tell me this just can't be the way for love to live
Airline flights and sleepless nights
And mentally disturbing sights
And ev'rybody wantin' me to give
There's gotta be a better way to live.

I dream of hidden acres with no road
Where I can be with you (emotion)
No daily papers to carrode
My ev'ry thought of you (devotion)
I long for you lonely longin' for me
Knowin' that love demands reality.

Emotion and devotion and a plain ol' fashion notion
Tell me this just can't be the way for love to live
Airline flights and sleepless nights
And mentally disturbing sights
And ev'rybody wantin' me to give
There's gotta be a better way to live...
