Things I Miss The Most (Live)

Things I Miss The Most (Live) - Van Zant

Written by：Tom Hambridge/Jeffrey Steele/Donnie Van Zant/Johnny Van Zant

I swear I gave up drinkin'

Sometimes I have no choice

After singin' hard six nights straight

A little sip sure helps my voice

Don't get me wrong I love these songs

And I know I've got it made

Sometimes my mind starts driftin'

When I'm up here on the stage

To that last half-mile of dirt road

And that oak tree on the hill

To those dogs out barkin' in the yard

And that tractor in the field

And them kids up on the front porch

Screamin' "Mamma daddy's home"

When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'

About the things I miss the most

Yeah the hardest thing I have to do

Is hang up this telephone

There's so much left to talk about

And I been gone so long

So put them kids on one more time

Before they go to sleep

And baby no no matter where I go

All that I can see

Is that last half mile of dirt road

And that oak tree on the hill

To those dogs out barkin' in the yard

And that tractor in the field

And them kids up on the front porch

Screamin' "Mamma daddy's home"

When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'

About the things I miss the most

The things I miss the most

The things I miss the most

And it's killin' me I hate to leave

This family that you've given me

God only knows I hate to go

So hold me close and let me let you know

About the things I miss the most

People always ask me

After every show

Of all the places that you've ever been

What's your favorite place to go

Now let them know

It's that last half mile of dirt road

And that oak tree on the hill

To those dogs out barkin' in the yard

And that old tractor in the field

And them kids up on the front porch

Screamin' "Mamma daddy's home"

When I'm out here I'm just thinkin'

'Bout the things I miss the most

While I'm out here I'm just thinkin'

About the things I miss the most
