Backstory:
A friend of mine drives long haulers across country to provide for his live in girlfriend and her 2 daughters. I guess she got lonely because he's on the road so much she started fooling around with one her ex-boyfriends. Started using all the money he sent home to dress up and hang out instead of paying the bills.
Lyrics:
I was out in my truck building a life for you
Calling from the road to say good night to you
I thought you were holding it down while I was gone
Dodging seedy truck stops doing right by you
Supporting you and the kids is what I was tryna do
But now I see I may have stayed out too long
Cause you're back with your ex
And I must confess
Should've been at home standing guard
You're back with your ex
And I must admit
To driving you back into his arms
Asking the good Lord to bless me to
Be able to afford what was best for you
I had to get out there and make a fast buck
I'm not the type to wear a suit
Or choke in a tie on a daily commute
So I got my CDL and drove off in my truck
But you're back with your ex
And I must confess
Should've been at home standing guard
You're back with your ex
And I must admit
To driving you back into his arms
Life on the road was so hard for me
You and the kids being so far from me
But it gave me something to look forward to
Those two little girls brought out the father in me
They may not have been mine but they were a part of me
And I love them just as much as you do
But you're back with your ex
And I must confess
Should've been at home standing guard
You're back with your ex
And I must admit
To driving you back into his arms
Yes you're back with your ex
I just have to accept
That's where your heart's been all along
You're back with your ex
And I'll always regret
Driving you back into his arms
