about

A story of young love, separation and everlasting hope...

Originally written for and recorded by Sand Dollar Rodeo, released as a digital single in 2014.

lyrics

Well, hello... I don’t know where to start…
Remember that night, it broke our little hearts?
Dancing in the moonlight, playing in the park
We thought we’d never be apart

I watched you ride away
Tears in my eyes, not much I could say
I hope that someday you will drive my way
And stay…

There won’t be any love around, till you come passing through my town
There’s a sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”
Take a ride, baby, come on down
Won’t you save this rodeo clown?
Find my sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”

I saw your brother yesterday
Asked how you were, he said you were gray
He said a smile never meets your face

Yeah, my life, it’s going the same way
I miss you every day
I hope this letter finds its way to say, “Come Stay!”

‘Cause every time I think I see you, it’s not fate
And every time I think I feel you, I can’t wait

There won’t be any love around, till you come passing through my town
There’s a sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”
Take a ride, baby, come on down
Won’t you save this rodeo clown?
Find my sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”

I keep walking on hallowed ground
I get up, but I fall right down
The unknown beats me around each living day

There won’t be any love around
Till you come passing through my town
Won’t you please come here and find a way to stay?

Longing for your smile, hoping for you touch
Madness all around me, I miss you so much
My sign on the interstate says, “Population You & Me”

Take the old road, exit on the right
I’ll be waiting for you when you get here tonight
My sign on the interstate says, “Population You & Me”
Yeah, my sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”

There won’t be any love around, till you come passing through my town
There’s a sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”
Take a ride, baby, come on down
Won’t you save this rodeo clown?
Find the sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”
Yeah, find my sign on the interstate, “Population You & Me”
