From the recording Stone Mountain Drive
A song about the lasting value of friendship.
Lyrics
Well, we all grew up together,
filled our lungs with that same hot, thick and humid air Texas air.
We chased the same high school dreams,
and homecoming queens -
broke some rules and some hearts, along the way with plenty more to spare.
‘til we left that same street in that same town… for diff’rent worlds –
To try to find our place and take our share.
Years go by and time’s not your friend,
that’s what they’ll tell ya’ and I guess it’s so
It burns line across your face, in fact
you start believing you’re just the same ole act
And new dreams, well, they replaced the ones from long ago
And as we roll on, there’s little time for looking back –
But there’s one thing I’m sure I know
So many miles separate us now,
Those ain’t the miles I think about.
It’s the miles we rode together
They’re the only miles that count.
Got a call after so many years, a familiar voice
“I’m in town for the night,are you free to meet somewhere downtown?"
" hows the wife and kids?"
"Well they're just fine."
We drank and laughed ‘til closing ‘bout the time we thought we’d lost but then discovered, it was so easily found.
So many miles separate us now,
Those ain’t the miles I think about.
It’s the miles we rode together
They’re the only miles that count.
