Too Many Miles
Harry Chapin
Note: can also be can also be [Intro] x4 [Verse] Sittin’ nearby the long steel rails waitin’ for a train to come Yonder sleeps a little town faidin’ with the settin sun Sittin’ here watchin’ evenin’ fall singin’ alone some tune And if the train don’t come ’til midnight I guess I’ll sing it to the moon [Chorus] Too many miles too many miles from home Too many miles too many miles alone [Verse] Well I tried to hitch a ride all day but the cars kept passin’ by I don’t know where I’m goin’ babe but I know the reason why I’m tryin’ to find one certain town just one special place Where waiting with a special smile their’ll be one special face [Chorus] Too many miles too many miles from home Too many miles too many miles alone [Verse] I’ve been thinkin’ as I’m waitin’ as the hours come and go There’s many a night I’ve spent like this and there’s many a more I’ll know And the funny thing about it all though I ain’t got no home I know that each man finds his resting place where he ain’t all alone [Chorus] Too many miles too many miles from home Too many miles too many miles alone
