Lyrics: Missing Me Some You
Midnight in the desert
So far away
It’s a fingernail moon
Dancing through the milky way
Stars down in dixie
Look the same way here
And I got your picture
Stuffed down in my battle gearI could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
And close my eyes and dream
That I can kiss my baby’s smileEven the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
I’m missing me some youWhen your head hits the pillow
To pray for my soul
That’s when your little soldier
Goes out on patrol
Never thought when I kissed you
Goodbye in tennessee
That I’d ever be lonely
But I’m about as lonely as one man can beI could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
I could close my eyes and dream
That I can kiss my baby’s smileEven the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
I’m missing me some youI miss you baby
I could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
I can close my eyes and dream
I can kiss my baby’s smileEven the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
Cause I’m missing me some you
Oh, I hope you still love me baby
Cause I’m missing me some you
