Week 04 - A Couple Miles From Town (01​-​27​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

lyrics

Everybody says the same thing
As you wipe away a tear
You’re so pretty it’s such a pity
Darling whatcha doing here

Something told me when I met you
I’ve got something that you need
Let me show you how well I know you
Baby take a trip with me

There’s a place I wanna’ take you a highway by the lake
I know it’s gonna’ make you smile
When the sun is slowing settin’ honey we’ll be gettin’
Cozy for a little while

As we’re chasing the horizon you can close your eyes and
Listen to the distant sound
Of the city and the season the beauty and the reason
Just a couple miles from town

Anybody with a heartbeat
Can feel it racing next to you
It’s not surprising the heat is rising
You’re melting everybody’s blues

But can you tell me when it’s your turn
Don’t you think it’s only right
Someone tender help you surrender
Won’t you come with me tonight

There’s a place I wanna’ take you a highway by the lake
I know it’s gonna’ make you smile
When the sun is slowing settin’ honey we’ll be gettin’
Cozy for a little while

As we’re chasing the horizon you can close your eyes and
Listen to the distant sound
Of the city and the season the beauty and the reason
Just a couple miles from town

There ain’t nothing like your kiss
When the stars light up the sky
And we’ll both remember this
I can see it in your eyes
