From the recording Last Goodbyes
Put Her Away is a rock song about the riggers of holding a relationship together while you are on the road. The touring music profession is one of the hardest professions to have a long distance relationship.
Lyrics
The morning comes too soon for his liking
Miles roll down and down like lighting
Prisoner of the road he’ll always be
Face after face he longs for substance
Night after night he waits for a chance
For what he believes is destiny
And he wonders if she’s heard his songs on the radio
And if the broken heart of a woman really knows
This profession ain’t no place for a lover
Endless hell when you can’t love another
But he’s married to his music and the chance to play
So, once again tonight, he’ll open up the back of his mind…
And put her away
Time after times he’s tried to tell her
Night after night he’s tried to call her
But the signal always seems to fall
He never thought he’d ever break her heart
Of course he never thought he’d get this far
Now wonders was it worth it all
And he wonders if she’s heard his songs on the radio
And the broken heart of this man really shows
This profession ain’t no place for a lover
Endless hell when you can’t love another
But he’s married to his music and the chance to play
So, once again tonight, he’ll open up the back of his mind…
And put her away
Sometimes he thinks the time will come, when he’ll settle down
But he fears that when the time comes, she won’t be around
And he wonders if she’s heard him on the radio
And if the broken heart of this man really shows
This profession ain’t no place for a lover
Endless hell when you can’t love another
This profession ain’t no place for a lover
Endless hell when you can’t love another
But he’s married to his music and the chance to play
So, once again tonight, he’ll open up the back of his mind…
And put her away
