While I Was Away Lyrics - Home - Pat Green

By the time I made it home 

You were already in bed 

Chubby cheek pressed to the pillow 

By a bed time book you read 

And I noticed that you looked older 

Than you did yesterday 

You've been growing up 

While I was away 

You made a pile of leaves in the front yard 

I guess it's already fall 

By the look of them pictures your momma took 

The two of you had a ball 

And it made me glad, but a little sad 

To see those games you played 

I missed a lot of smiles 

While I was away

For every dollar I earn there's a lesson you learn without me there 

And every day I'm on the go I'm prayin' that you know that your daddy cares 

'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain't the bills I gotta pay 

It's you growin' up while I was away 

And I found your note in the kitchen 

It's a real work of art 

A stickman holding your stick hand with "Daddy" written in a heart 

And it got me good 'cause I understood just what you meant to say 

You've been missing me too 

While I Was Away

'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain't the bills I gotta pay 

It's you growin' up while I was away 

No the hardest part about working hard ain't the bills I gotta pay 

It's everything that I missed 

While I was away
