Lyrics #1I knew the day would come that I'd have to leaveThings got a little crazy and out of handI'm pretty sure she didn't even grieveToo many bad times, so I took a standBridge10 bars and 50 miles back#2We gave it more than a half-hearted tryBut neither one could see the other sideI'm not the walk the line kinda guySo, I left everything, and she never criedBridge10 bars and 50 miles backChorusI drank everything in sightTo wipe memories in my mindOf our love-hate battle and tug of warBut maybe I'll find a woman who is more my kindAs we said goodbye and closed the doorBridge10 bars and 50 miles backInstrumental bridge#3I hit 10 bars on my way to nowhereHad to put some miles in between usI was so messed up, don't know how I got thereI left my troubles, and that mean old cussBridgeI took my wounded pride when I left herChorusI drank everything in sightTo wipe memories in my mindOf our love-hate battle and tug of warBut maybe I'll find a woman who is more my kindWe said goodbye and we closed the doorOutro10 bars and 50 miles back, 10 bars and 50 miles back,I put some miles and wounded pride in between us10 bars and 50 miles back
