Dear God Lyrics

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only...

   i think its a song about lost loves in general, like me and this chick met at a show and we fell for each other but i had a woman and she had a man but we wanted to be together but never persued it, and now i wished i had made it different but there is still hope for me.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Dear God is about someone who is leaving home and people you love for a while, whether it be a music tour or military purposes (the music video shows a music tour as the reason). The song asks for God's help to look over someone he loves "Dear God the only thing I ask of you Is to hold her when I'm not around When I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again, oh no Once again"

   I believe this song is about people who are away from their homes/loved ones for long periods of time (such as musicians on tour).
   
   "A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
   Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
   While I recall all the words you spoke to me
   Can't help but wish that I was there
   Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah"
   
   Also in this verse:
   
   "Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
   to hold her when I'm not around,
   when I'm much too far away"
   
   The person who is far from their home hope that their loved one(s) are safe when they're away from each other.

   This is the most obvious song ever it is all about love and when you leaving praying that person is safe so you can return to them.
