Miles From Home 

Now

He gives me that inquisitive stare 

“Don’t look at me like that 

I know mate, I know 

I should never have left the wife”

Today 

I went left, instead of right 

No matter what direction 

Or decision I choose 

At the end of day 

There will be night 

My time to rest  

And remain out of sight 

Tonight 

I will sleep under the stars 

With my loyal companion 

By my side

Tomorrow 

I shall take the backroads 

Miles away from my troubled life 

Miles and miles 

Beyond those days of strife
