Story Behind The Song

Story of the potential for a romance that didn't eventuate as the boy and girl met fleetingly but missed the opportunity to delve further into a relationship. They carry on with their lives (from the mans p.o.v) not knowing what may have happened if she had met with him as intended.

Song Description

Unrequited love, missed opportunities,

Lyrics

KAREN

Well I don't rightly know my destination

And I can't even say if it's a town

But I hope you don't mind

If I drop you a line

Sometime between now and

When I settle down


After seeing you again,

I thought that sometime

We could get together for a while

But I missed you on the night

And baby it ain't my right

So I'm leaving now

Before I turn around


Karen

You should a been there

Be a while before I'm back again

No need to make no fuss

You won't see me for the dust

Hang in there baby

Maybe we can still be friends


Well I'm sitting in this truck

Writing your letter

The words are all coming out in style

But I'd rather write a book

Than turn around and take one last one look

So I'm travellin' the country

Mile by mile
