Lyrics Many Miles From Blacksburg - Goodnight , Texas

I was many miles from Blacksburg
When the canon fire burst
Chilled me to the narrowed bone
But did not move the earth

I was many miles from Blacksburg
But I knew that you had gone
Take what you can before God calls you on

I thought that you would be home by now
I thought that you would be home by now
But you're many miles from Blacksburg
With my father and our son
Take what you can before God takes someone
