MILES FROM NOWHERE

50 miles from water
40 miles from wood
30 miles from nowhere
And I gone there for good

A bird in a cage ain’t a bird at all
It sure ain’t safe to breathe in all this smog

You can stay in your city
You can have your sirens
You can keep your bright lights
Just leave me out in the sky

A bird in a cage ain’t a bird at all
A girl’s gotta fly where a man must fall

I know you tried to love me
And I know you thought you did
But I know a heart’s not a locket
On a chain around the neck

A bird in a cage ain’t a bird at all
A girl can’t be blamed for what is not her fault
No, a bird in a cage ain’t a bird at all
Now watch me fly - I’m gotta sing my song

50 miles from water
40 miles from wood
30 miles from nowhere
And I gone there for good
