lyrics

"60 Miles Gone" (Pickering)
Her- You were the first to give me, a second look
So I took the line, the sinker, and the hook
It's not real clear just what you gave
But I know how much you took
Like somethin from an old country song

It dawned on me that love don't have to be this way
Where you lay down the law, and I obey
I put the car in gear, I headed west
You could never make me stay
Before you noticed, I was thirty miles gone

CHORUS
Thirty miles gone, thirty miles gone,
This little girl well she stood up
Now she's big and proud and strong
Before you notice, I'll be thirty miles gone

Him-When I woke up this mornin' you, were on my mind
You know a sweeter girlie I won't ever find
When I get mad or when I stray you were never less than kind
It took some thinkin' but I guess I was wrong

So I stumble down the stairs I know, just how to please
Goin' out to buy your flowers, put your mind at ease
But the keys ain't there and no one's home
Except a gentle autumn breeze
I learned my lesson but you were sixty miles gone

CHORUS
Sixty miles gone, sixty miles gone
The time I took to get things right
It was just to God damn long
And when I sobered up, you were sixty miles gone

Her-I heard from folks back home that you aren't doin well
That you you can't comprehend that I could break your spell
They say you've changed you want me back
I'm to far away to tell
I started livin' once I was ninety miles gone

CHORUS
Ninety miles gone, ninety miles gone
This little girl, well she grew up now she's big and proud and strong
I started living once I was ninety miles gone

Ninety miles gone, ninety miles gone
This little girl, well she grew up, big and proud and strong
And when you looked around I was ninety miles gone
