[Verse 1]
I was only four years old
A blurred picture in my mind
A cowboy hat and a low voice
Now just a distant memory
Of a man who had to leave

[Chorus]
Oh, the ticket stub is gone
But the waiting never ends
I check the buses pulling in
I look at faces stepping out
Where are you dad

[Verse 2]
I spend hours down at the station
Watching the northbound train
Every single window pane
Holding maybe one familiar smile
A silent promise to return

[Chorus]
Oh, the ticket stub is gone
But the waiting never ends
I check the buses pulling in
I look at faces stepping out
Where are you dad

[Verse 3]
I don't know the man you became
Or what your hands have worked on since
I search for a sign of you in the crowd
I try to piece together the truth
I need to know you're doing okay

[Bridge]
Maybe you had a good reason
Maybe the road was your only friend
I hold no anger in my heart
Just an empty space I need to fill
I forgive you, please come home

[Chorus]
Oh, the ticket stub is gone
But the waiting never ends
I check the buses pulling in
I look at faces stepping out
Where are you dad

[Outro]
Why did you go
Where did you go
I'll keep looking
Keep looking
