Lyrics
23 Miles Out
I cross the road and the leaves come down. I watch the car pullin’ out toward town, Left standing here with a sleeping child And a wildcat prowlin’ ‘round in my yard, And winter coming on. This is not country I know. I rent this house from people up the road, And everybody ‘round here been here a long, long time. Me, I’ll be a stranger all of my life, ‘Cause we always move on. There was a time I sang a wildcat song. I said there wasn’t a man could ever settle me down, And when my soul got heavy I wrapped it in velvet cloth. That was all I had to carry when times got hard, But that was long ago. This child of mine is growin’ up strong. He’s got his daddy’s fire and his mother’s song. Me, I picked up a few hearts out along the road, And I carry them with me wherever I go, Wherever we go. I cross the road and the leaves come down. I watch the car pullin’ out toward town, Left standing here with this hungry child, And a wildcat heart 23 miles out, Winter coming on. lyrics by Katie Henry
