Lyrics Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn

It's Not the Miles You Traveled

I see that you're well traveled round the world and back again

I don't think that's the answer cause you're still a lonely man

Now don't tell me the things you've done and the places you have stayed

If it's not the miles you've traveled

Then surely it must be the stops you've made

Each stop has left a mark that even time cannot erase

They cannot be forgotten cause they're written on your face

I wonder if you felt true love in all the games you play

If it's not the miles you've traveled

Then surely it must be the stops you've made

So travelin' man move on to places far away from here

And baby don't remind me that you almost held me near

I could learn to love you but I'd still be so afraid

If I can't go the miles you travel

I don't wanna be another stop you've made
