Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Restrained, Smoky Baritone-Tenor]
Your voice came through near midnight
Saying home don’t feel like home
You’ve been sleeping next to somebody
Still waking up alone
I heard the fear between your sentences
The part you couldn’t speak
Then you whispered, “I still love you”
And took the strength from both my knees
I won’t ask you for an address
You’re afraid to let me know
Just name a road, a town, a corner
And watch how quickly I will go
[Pre-Chorus — Aching Rise]
I’ve spent too many empty evenings
Wondering where your heart has been
Give me one hour without hiding
Let this faithful man come in
[Chorus — Passionate Chest Voice]
Tell me where to be
Tell me what time you need me
I’ll cross every county line
Before loneliness defeats me
Leave one porch light burning
Place one key beneath your door
Tell me where to be
And you won’t wait for love anymore
[Verse 2 — Intimate, Behind the Beat]
I know your situation’s complicated
I know somebody wears your ring
But he stopped touching your emotions
Long before you called on me
I’m not proud of loving secretly
I’m just tired of loving scared
Every time your world gets heavy
I can feel you reaching from somewhere
I put my future on this feeling
Put my name against the cost
Because living without holding you
Already feels like everything is lost
[Chorus — Rougher with Harmonies]
Tell me where to be
Tell me what time you need me
I’ll cross every county line
Before loneliness defeats me
Leave one porch light burning
Place one key beneath your door
Tell me where to be
And you won’t wait for love anymore
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Cry]
Don’t tell me someday
Someday has taken years
Don’t send another careful message
Then leave me drowning here
I need your face before me
Your trembling hand inside mine
One honest night together
Before regret outruns our time
[Background Harmonies]
Call him, call him
Tell that man where to go
[Male Lead — Rising Belt]
I’ll drive through rain without stopping
Let that highway test my faith
Your love is worth the danger
Just don’t make me arrive too late
[Final Chorus — Full Vocal Power]
Tell me where to be
I’ll be standing there before you
No excuse between my lips
No frightened pride to come between us
Give me one true destination
One hour your heart can breathe
Tell me where to be
And that’s where this man will be
[Outro — Aching Vibrato and Ad-Libs]
Name the road
Name the hour
I’ll bring every ounce of love I have
Leave that light on
Keep your heart open
Don’t make me spend another night asking
Tell me where to be, woman
And I’ll be there
