Eight More Miles Lyrics

Eight More Miles lyrics

Eight more miles and I'll be home
Back in your grace where I
belong
Tonight I'm sleeping in my own bed
With my blue tick feather
pillow underneath my head

I feel the wheels on 65
I don't know when -
felt so alive
Eight more miles
Eight more miles and I'll be
home

Since I've been gone everything's changed
There's been two weeks
of steady rain
And the dogwoods bloom - pink and white
And that damp smell
of new cut grass is everywhere tonight

Sweet sunny sound - I never
knew
Just how much I could miss you
Eight more miles
Eight more miles
and I'll be home

I crossed the Rockies on a silver train
I've walked
from Burghan in a pouring rain
I met with strangers I came to love
And
I've gotten drunk with Chieftans in a Dublin hotel pub

And I dearly love
these memories
But all that matters right now to me
Is eight more
miles
Eight more miles and I'll be home

Eight more miles
Eight
more miles and I'll be home
