there is a place down in tenessee i call home
there is someone down there i call my own
at least i think he is
lord i pray he is
least i could do is give him a call
our love across the miles is holding strong
with every sign of going on and on
least i hope it will
lord i pray it will
but there is a danger still
cuz we know
that time and distance
will do their level best
to build a wall between us
and put love to the test
the doubt and temptation
step in and take control
calling on suspicion
to come and take its toll
we cant lead love
down the path of least resistance
we've got to hold our own
against time and distance
they say out of sight out of mind
but i say love like ours can hold the line
im here to say they're wrong
i hope and pray they're wrong
and we can keep love strong
cuz we know
that time and distance
will do their level best
to build a wall between us
and put love to the test
the doubt and temptation step in and take control
calling on suspicion
to come and take its toll
we cant lead love down the path of least resistance
we've got to hold our own agains time and distance
we've got to hold our own
against time and distance
