Miles Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Alice Whaley

I’m f[F]ive thousand eight hundred and seventeen
[C]miles away from home
[C]But it doesn’t matter what I do
I’ll never be al[F]one
[Bb]Why is that, you [F]ask me?
[C]Well I’m glad you asked me t[F]hat.
‘Cause I’ve got some good c[C]riollos and I’ve got my cowboy h[F]at

[Bb]Oh Mama, [F]Papa, [C]I’m not far aw[F]ay
[Bb]I’m right here in my ho[F]meland
And it’s [Bb]where I’m gonna [C]stay
With my f[Bb]eet both in the st[F]irrups
And my [C]hat upon my [F]head
[C]Home is where the heart is, not where I lay my [F]bed

While I sit [F]in my dusty ass bombachas,
[C]playing you this song
[C]think back to all the books I’ve read - they couldn’t be more [F]wrong
[Bb]The only thing worth kn[F]owing
[C]I’ll tell you now, it’s [F]this
Life happens in the c[C]ountry, and life’s too good to m[F]iss

[Bb]Oh Mama, [F]Papa, [C]I’m not far aw[F]ay
[Bb]I’m right here in my ho[F]meland
And it’s w[Bb]here I’m gonna s[C]tay
[Bb]With my feet both in the st[F]irrups
And my [C]hat upon my h[F]ead
[C]Home is where the heart is, not where I lay my [F]bed

Oh I’m m[F]iles away I’m miles away,
but there’s be[C]er and boy there’s meat
[C]I’ve been drinking maté, alpargatas on my [F]feet
And [Bb]when I’m in the s[F]addle,
[C]The world is all as [F]one
My j[C]ourney isn’t over no, it’s only just beg[F]un

[Bb]Oh Mama, P[F]apa, I[C]’m not far aw[F]ay
[Bb]I’m right here in my h[F]omeland
And it’s w[Bb]here I’m gonna s[C]tay
With my [Bb]feet both in the st[F]irrups
And my h[C]at upon my h[F]ead
[C]Home is where the heart is, not where I lay my [F]bed
