Mile marker nenety two on forty goin' west I'd been drivin' without rest the whole night through I saw this little cardboard sign about to fade away Made a tear roll down my face with just one line
Patsy come home it said Patsy come home I bet a mother's watchin' out a window or a lover's waitin' by the phone No matter who's wrong no matter what you're running from Somebody's tryin' to tell you they love you Patsy come home
By Little Rock the rain was turning into snow By now I'd prayed she'd gone back home again I won't forget for some time the hopeful kind of love Or the desperation of that cardboard sign
It said Patsy come home Patsy come home... Somebody's tryin' to tell you they love you Patsy come home
