Half The Way Home

It was two country miles from your house to mine

When we were just kids untouched by time

I'd ask you to walk me home part of the way

Then I'd walk you back some and we'd stop to play

So it would go till daylight was gone

Walking each other half the way home

It's been too rare to find a friendship as true

And I felt the same faced walking with you

Sharing our feelings from deep down inside

Wakes you from the heart what we've since learned to hide

Of all that I've done the best thing I've known

Was walking a good friend half the way home

We should put some miles on that windey dirt road

Talking of life and how far we could go

It was early one summer and dreams were still new

The last time I walked it with you

I've come two thousand miles after way too much time

I've burned up the road to your house from mine

I hope it's not too late to talk for a while

Cause God's got you walking your last lonely mile

And I knew you'd be too scared to do it alone

So I've come to walk you half the way home
