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
