He hit 10 bars on his way to nowhere. He had to put some miles in between them. He drank everything in sight to wipe the memories from his mind. Music & Lyrics by Tom Mercer, and Lyrics by Clare Steffen as a part of the Round The Globe project.

Lyrics


#1

I knew the day would come that I'd have to leave

Things got a little crazy and out of hand

I'm pretty sure she didn't even grieve

Too many bad times, so I took a stand



Bridge
10 bars and 50 miles back


#2

We gave it more than a half-hearted try

But neither one could see the other side

I'm not the walk the line kinda guy

So, I left everything, and she never cried



Bridge
10 bars and 50 miles back


Chorus
I drank everything in sight

To wipe memories in my mind

Of our love-hate battle and tug of war

But maybe I'll find a woman who is more my kind

As we said goodbye and closed the door



Bridge
10 bars and 50 miles back



Instrumental bridge

#3
I hit 10 bars on my way to nowhere

Had to put some miles in between us
I was so messed up, don't know how I got there

I left my troubles, and that mean old cuss



Bridge

I took my wounded pride when I left her



Chorus
I drank everything in sight

To wipe memories in my mind

Of our love-hate battle and tug of war

But maybe I'll find a woman who is more my kind

We said goodbye and we closed the door



Outro
10 bars and 50 miles back, 10 bars and 50 miles back,

I put some miles and wounded pride in between us

10 bars and 50 miles back
