If I had a choice girl I would stay with you
I cannot explain the pain that it puts me through
a travelin' man goin' from town to town
burns an empty feelin' deep inside of me
I dream of the love we share when I'm way back home
oh it's somethin' to hold on to when I'm all alone
hearin' your voice tremble on the line
its more than any man can take
well I'm about to lose my mind

I hear cryin'
I hear cryin'
oh Lord give us the strength we need
I hear cryin'
tell me why isn't love easier to believe

now distance I know can play a few tricks on the mind
whispering doubt about the love I left behind
and just when I think I'm about to lose my mind
yet the hardest thing to bear is what really shows you care
it's when

I hear cryin'
no denying the love
it keeps us holding on
I hear cryin'
Lord You've given the hope
to make it until the end

I hear cryin'
tell me why isn't love easier to believe
I hear cryin', cryin'
