“Headlights Round the Bend” lyrics

You'll be here any minute now

You said you'd be home for Christmas, that was two Christmases ago
You said "I just need some time," I said "Take all you need, you know"
Now I'm sitting at the window with the dog beside my feet
Every truck that passes makes my heart skip a beat
Made your favorite chili with the beans you like
Put a candle on the table and a record on the side
Mama says I'm crazy, buddy says it's sad
But hope's the only thing I've ever had

It's been an hour
It's been a year
But I'm not giving up
On you being here

You'll be here any minute now
Headlights coming round the bend somehow
Table's set and the porch light's on
You'll be here any minute now

Any minute
(Any minute)
Any minute now

Maybe you're in Texas with a new name and a job
Maybe you're in Georgia singing in a bar
Maybe you're just driving and you're lost again
Maybe you'll pull in when the night's about to end
I'll leave the door unlocked like I always do
I'll leave the light on in the kitchen too
I ain't saying I'm a saint, I ain't saying I'm right
But I'm saying I'm here tonight

It's been an hour
It's been a year
But I'm not giving up
On you being here

You'll be here any minute now
Headlights coming round the bend somehow
Table's set and the porch light's on
You'll be here any minute now
You'll be here any minute now

Any minute
Any hour
Any year
Any day
Any minute now

You'll be here any minute now
Headlights coming round the bend somehow
Table's set and the porch light's on
You'll be here any minute now

Any minute
(Any minute)
Any minute now
