Waiting for His Call

[Verse]
The sun dips low behind the pine tree wall
Three acres hum with life's sweet call
Chickens cluck and the grandkids play
But I feel the weight of the empty day
[Chorus]
Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold
Long hours in fields where stories unfold
I run this home but my heart's with him
Waiting for his call as the night grows dim
[Verse 2]
The geese take flight as the moonlight beams
Dogs bark softly in their twilight dreams
I sip my coffee as the shadows fall
Counting the hours till I hear him at all
[Chorus]
Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold
Long hours in fields where stories unfold
I run this home but my heart's with him
Waiting for his call as the night grows dim
[Bridge]
His voice on the line
It soothes my soul
Miles apart but he makes me whole
I tell him 'bout the geese and the kids' wild schemes
He tells me of oil rigs and his dusty dreams
[Chorus]
Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold
Long hours in fields where stories unfold
I run this home but my heart's with him
Waiting for his call as the night grows dim
