Story Behind The Song

the story of this song has been told many times before, yet everyone can relate to someone leaving a relationship. This song has a story that brings you into a room where it all begins and tells a story of a relationship that will not last. For some reason, the end brings hope to the situation, knowing that somehow things will work out no matter what the future brings

Song Description

Acoustic Pop song. Laid back with a calm/sad mood. Acoustic guitars with a flowing electric guitar throughout. Good backing vocals and a nice accenting violin melody in the ending. This song is really stripped down with a slow driving beat that allows the story to be told with many pictures from the lyrics

Lyrics

Far Away From Here
Words and Music by Virgil Cain

Walk in the back door
Saw the bedroom light
Heard a suitcase zipper and some dresser drawers
I knew something wasn?t right
I Walk in and say ?Honey , where we going
What?s the urgency?
She said ?We?re going nowhere
It?s just me?

Cuz she?s packing up, she?s getting far away from here
And she?s packing up, she?s getting far away from here
And she?s starting out tonight

She said ? I thought about our wedding day
And all the sugar coated promises that you made
Now the candy?s gone
What a cold empty taste?

She flips the 8x10 on the nightstand
The thousand words it said just slipped away
She strolls down the stairs and she can?t wait
To tear the wrapper off her brand new shiny day
And all I?m begging for is just one more last chance
My eyes are watery
The times without her are gonna be lonely

Chorus

Bridge:
She?s packing up she?s getting stuff around
I?m so lost but she?ll be found
Tonight she?s on her way
She?s gonna drive, she?s gonna feel alive tonight
And she?s on her way?..

Chorus
