Story Behind The Song

A general feel good song that actually was born from a song about breaking up. As it was being re-written it became clear that we wanted to talk about the "mythical,ideal relationship and just pretend that it actually existed.

Song Description

The song begins with looking at a relationship begininng in high school, progressing to marriage and a family and tying it all together while walking a country mile

Lyrics

Country Mile
Tom Cadham, Ben Goerner Copyright, 2004

C Em Am F
Met a girl, back in school eyes of blue and hair of gold
C Em
We were young, hearts on fire
Am F
Like every other story told

We did it all we did it good
We did it like they do in Hollywood
We made memories when we made love
And so we traveled down that road.

C G
Walkin down that country mile, that never ends
Am F
Where it leads I?ve yet to know
C G
You and I walkin hand in hand
Am F G C
We?ll just keep walking on that road

Got a job down at the plant
You stayed home and raised the little one?s
We got out when we could
Just to dance and have a little fun

chorus

Am F
Time goes by, got a little gray
G
The kid?s are on their own
C
With their own kids on the way
Am F
And so it goes, on that country road
G
They?ll make new memories as ours grow old

Solo,
chorus
key change

last chorus?s

walkin down that country mile, that never ends
we?ll just keep walkin on that road
walking down that country mile that never ends
you and I just growin old
