[Verse 1]
His boots hit the floor before the sun
Thermos packed, and his lunchbox done
You kiss my head, then you hit the road
Dust on the truck and a heavy load
[Verse 2]
I watch that tailgate disappear
Count the days when you ain't here
Mama says, "He's working hard"
But the house feels big and hard to guard
[Pre-Chorus]
Two weeks feels like forever
When I hear that engine leave
I try to act all tough
But I miss you more than I can say
[Chorus]
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
I hold on, I hold on
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
Come back home, come back home
I keep your cap by the door
Till you're back here once more
[Verse 3]
You send a text from way out west
Says you're okay, you're doing your best
I read it twice, then one more time
Like those words can make you mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Two weeks feels like forever
When the supper table's set
I leave your chair just how it is
So it feels like you're not gone yet
[Chorus]
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
I hold on, I hold on
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
Come back home, come back home
I keep your cap by the door
Till you're back here once more
[Bridge]
Then Friday comes like a shot
Your old truck pulls in to the spot
That grin you wear, that tired face
I run right in and take my place
[Final Chorus]
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
I hold on, I hold on
Two weeks gone, two weeks gone
Come back home, come back home
I keep your cap by the door
Now you're back here once more
