Story Behind The Song
melody came to me as I was going into work and I ran to get it down. Came home and found the chords that wokred under it. I had the title already and it seemed to fit the mood of the music. I started singing, I'm 30 miles from Memphis... and a million miles gone. That was the hook and I built the story around that theme. The words caress the music, the melody and the harmonies, as they should... love the acoustic solo as well. Very proud of this song!

Lyrics
Good morning love, I?m writing to you from here
Long open road filled with possibility
Words we said in yesterday
Are slowly growing dim as my mood greets this pretty day
I?m 30 miles from Memphis
And a million miles gone
I know I left, without giving you reasons
I?m on the brink of something I must do alone
Every day that I?m away
Makes the answer closer to me and all that I can say
I?m 30 miles from Memphis
And a million miles gone
(bridge)
Any exit I may take, still could take me back to you
Hypocrisy and contradiction smile
In the end, I?ll be defined by the choices I will make
What is left behind, is left behind
