Lyrics Miles Away - Old Crow Medicine Show , Willie Watson

I ran into my old friend by the side of the road today
He was cuttin' back roses in the rain
Had a few more miles carved in his mandolin
But he kept pretty well in tune
When he sang them old-time country blues

Do you remember the rails that we used to ride
Oh, that was many mountains ago
Since we split off up on that westbound trail
How you been old friend, are you doing well?

I never got the chance to say I love you
Now it all feels just a little too late
Ever since just down the road turned
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away

How's the paint on the fence are the fields still growing wild
I heard you lost your gal along the way
Remember hiding high up in the rafters all day
Did that old roof cave in, is there anything left of all that's been

I never got the chance to say I love you
Now it all feels just a little too late
Ever since just down the road turned
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away

So if you run into some lost friend or lover
And find only reticence remains
Grab the saddle horn and just throw your body over
Don't let the past
Don't let the past
Don't let the past hold the reins

Take the chance to say I love you
Even if it all feels a little too late
'Cause before you know it just down the road'll turn
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
