As I sat in the back
with as usual of course
my head in a book
head phones playing my tunes
I am in a world of my own
thoughts fill my mind
what awaits us when we arrive
miles fly by my head in the clouds
words that just will not sit still
the miles fly by the scenery changing as we roll
from large cities with many bright lights
calling to those that suffer from the pull
of a life of darkness and pain
to the small rural communities
that have just a hand full of people
now that is what calls to me
miles fly by as I close my eyes
falling into the world I want to live in
miles fly by and we pull in
finally I lay eyes on my life again
as the people I love come to greet me
I thank God for them each day
for they are what life is all about
love them in spite our themselves
miles fly by just like our lives
with each beat of our hearts
so give those you love a hug today
and let them know how you feel
