Story behind the song
About an old tree that almost got cut down... Dedicated to my little bro, Corey.
Lyrics
Intro 1x through progression Verse 1 Thirteen miles to the tree, Where the mists of the new day used to be. I can almost hear them callin? upon me, As I lay me softly down, with the grass beneath my shoulders? Verse 2 Sun beats down upon my face, To escape it, would only exceed my broken pace, But no matter how I long to see the place, I feel troubled and confused. Like a writer without muse, A runner with no shoes, A guy who?s got the blues? Verse 3 Strolling swiftly through the breeze, I could drive but I couldn?t find the keys. So I?ll take all the time that I please, All the time in the world. Solo Guitar Solo with Key Change Bridge It?s a tree I used to play on when I was just a boy Teeth beneath my pillow, but still some to enjoy. As I race with my wooden sword to my battle of troy, When I had no worries at all? When I had no worries at all? Verse 4 Now its thirteen miles to the tree, Cause I?m further away than I used to be. But when I pull up, I can see, The comfort of my tree. The comfort of my tree. Yeah, it?s where I want to be, yeah. The comfort of my tree.
