Every day the bed's been made
Since the night you went away
But I don't know if this one counts
Each night, I'm on the couch alone
'Cause you're not at home
You and I were willing rest
You packed your bags and headed West
Gave us the life you're living now
That's more than any vow I know
Just wish you were home
The land that I love has betrayed me
Sorry if I'm acting like it's you
Oh that don't mean that I'm not grateful, baby no no
I just got the east coast woman blues
The baby too a step today
Part of me wished he could wait
But still I laughed and clapped my hands
Looks like our little man and me
Wanted you to be proud
Too young to wish the days away
Too old to let my poor heart break
Each time I see you in his face
I take a map and trace the road
For you to come home
The land that I love has betrayed me
Sorry if I'm acting like it's you
Oh that don't mean that I'm not grateful, baby no no
I just got the east coast woman blues
