[Verse 1]
When I'm gone
I hope that everything in your world is right
When you’re lost
I pray that everything that I taught you
Can turn you right back around
When you need me
I will always be by your side
Oh baby, oh baby
Just know everything is gonna be alright

[Chorus]
When I get home
I'm gonna hold you just a little bit closer
Until I'm gone
I’m gonna love you just a little bit longer

[Verse 2]
Been around the world and back
Daddy's a country boy just trying to make it in the city
And I don't know when I'm coming back
I'd never seen you underneath the sky, looking so pretty
'Til I pack up my Cadillac
Me and the boys got some work, it's about to get busy
Turn up the radio
Step on the gas now, baby, gotta go, gotta go, yeah

[Chorus]
But when I get home
I'm gonna hold you just a little bit closer
Until I’m gone, yeah
I’m gonna love you just a little bit longer, yeah
Just a little bit longer, yeah
I'm gonna love you just a little bit longer
I’m gonna be your, oh, oh, man

[Bridge]
When I get home
I gotta hold you just a little bit closer
Until I'm gone
I'm gonna love you just a little bit longer, yeah

[Outro]
When I get home (When I'm home)
I wanna hold you just a little bit closer, yeah
Until I’m home (When I'm home)
I'm gonna love you just a little bit longer, yeah
(I can't wait to hold you, love you)
When I get home (When I get home, oh yeah)
I'm gonna hold you just a little bit closer (Oh baby, baby)
Until I'm home (Oh yeah, yeah, baby)
I wanna love you just a little bit longer, yeah
(I wanna love you just a little bit longer)
