MILES IN MEMORIES
(Carl Story / Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb & his Texas Troubadours - 1973



Yes I’ve got lots of miles, but lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories

You say that all those miles are showing on me
Well I’ll admit I had some rough ones way back when
But for every mile there holds a story left untold
Back there in my book of memories

Cause I’ve got lots of miles and lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories

(Instrumentals)

Now as faces and places come before me
Making up my full book of memories
And I wouldn’t ever dare
One page to solitaire
I might want to review them all someday

Yes I’ve got lots of miles, but lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories
