She always hides a note that says "i love you" inside my bag whenever i go away. and when i check in there's always a message waitin' just letting me know everything at home's okay.
Road widow you know i'm thinking of you. wishin' i didn't have to leave you all alone. maybe someday it won't be this way but right now the show goes on and just about the lovin' you'll have when i get back home.
(guitar solo)
Well you know she is a liberated woman and she's free to choose whatever she wants to be. and she knew i was a travelling man when she saw me coming. but still instead of all the others she chose me.
Road widow you know i'm thinking of you. wishin' i didn't have to leave you all alone. maybe someday it won't be this way but right now the show goes on and just think of the lovin' you'll have when i get back home.
(repeat chorus)
