Ten Miles

Last night you called me up

Begging to stay over one more night

I figure if you do

I’ll probably buy a gun and shoot you

It’s been miserable in ways I can’t define

And resisting is a gift I’ve earned in time

I ain’t buying words you keep saying

It’s ok to stick around

As long as you’re ten miles

From my hometown

I will put you down the ground

If you don’t stay ten miles

From my hometown

Back then, we sang in joy

And harmonies built with major chords

You were c and I was e

But geez I guess the g missed out

You can take the keys to my car

And drive so so very far

I am trying to be a nice lady

It’s ok to stick around

As long as you’re ten miles

From my hometown

I will put you down the ground

If you don’t stay ten miles

From my hometown

Last night you called me up (again)

Begging to stay over one more night (again)

I figure if you do

I’ll probably buy a gun and shoot you

It’s ok to stick around

As long as you’re ten miles

From my hometown

I will put you down the ground

If you don’t stay ten miles

From my hometown
