(Duet with Natalie Maines)
  
   Words & Music by Steve Booker and Sandy Stewart
  
  
   There's a plane, it's headed for London
   Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
   And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
   Ooh, I can't stop it
  
   There's a house there, somebody's waiting
   Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
   And in that moment what will he think then...
   When I can't touch him
  
   Chorus:
   Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
   Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
   All that I really know is that he's goin'
   Too far from Texas
   Too close to home
  
   In a room just outside of Houston
   That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him
   He says he's comin' back in every letter...
   But he might never
  
   Chorus
  
   Does he know how long
   I've waited for this love to come
   Does he know I'm holdin' on
   And that won't change no matter where he's gone
  
   Chorus
  
   Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
   Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
