The Distance Copyright © 1998 Maureen Kelly Verse 1 July was a good month for coming of age Hot nights in the street lights The road been paved Slow signs it still winds, up aways To a hill, lookin out on little home town Chorus And the distance keeps me wide open To the lessons in the lives below (I've know) And the answer gets me high hopin For a love, sing freedom For a love will sing, sing to me freedom Verse 2 April was a good time for movin away Last chance at the spring dance The games we played Slow change to 4 lanes, a new highway Interstate, headed out of little home town Chorus X 2
