Miles Away

This is a very important song to me. I wrote it about leaving home. I hope you like it as much as I do.

When I was little you kept a close eye on your baby
never let no harm come to me
You always knew that someday maybe
Youd have to let me roam free

Youd wake me up to see if i was still breathing
No matter how long it took to fall asleep
All of lifes problems, you took care of everything
Now its time for me to take on lifes greatest leaps

You'll forever have a place in my heart
Dont you ever worry about that
We knew someday wed have to part
Don't worry, Ill always know where to go
Home is only a couple miles away

How could I ever forget the woman who took care of me
You always let me be who I wanted to be
If it wasn't for you I don't know what I would do
Mommy I love you

Why would I let myself ever forget you dad
You loved me even when I was bad
Forgave and forgot all the stupid things
Daddy I love you

You'll forever have a place in my heart
Dont you ever worry about that
We knew someday wed have to part
Don't worry, Ill always know where to go
Home is only a couple miles away

Its time to let your girl fly
time to watch her go
dont worry ill be Ok
I know the way home

It's time to let me grow up
be who I need to be
make my own mistakes
let me be free

You'll forever have a place in my heart
Dont you ever worry about that
We knew someday wed have to part
Don't worry, Ill always know where to go
Home is only a couple miles away

I was never in a hurry
youve got no need to worry
its just my time to go

You'll forever have a place in my heart
Dont you ever worry about that
We knew someday wed have to part
Don't worry, Ill always know where to go
Home is only a couple miles away

Home is only a cuple miles away

Oh, home is only a couple of miles away

I wanna make a note about the 2nd verse, where it says "You'd wake me up to see if I was still breathing no matter how long it took to fall alseep". This is a true notion. My dad, when i was a baby, came home from work one day and asked my mom where I was. She told him I was sleeping. He went upstairs and woke me up and my mom got mad because it had taken her 3 hours to get me to fall asleep. My dad looked at her and said that a baby in the neighborhood had died of SIDS (sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The story had upset him so much, being that he had a baby of his own at home, that he had to make sure that I was still breathing.

I love my parents so much and even though I am out on my own now, I will always know where to go when I need help.

I love you mom and dad,
