2023 Miles - Stewart Eastham

Written by：Stewart Eastham/Long Bar Music

Out on the west coast there's one thing I miss most

Once upon a time she was mine

The sunshine and ocean that the pretty girls go in

Leavin' their troubles behind

Thought I was blessed but since that day that she left

I felt empty inside my own skin

I picture her laughin' and it fills me with sadness

Wonderin' at what could have been

Two thousand twentythree

Miles

One day and ten hours away

Across the highway to the one I adore

But she ain't my baby no more

These sweet southern ladies all seem a bit crazy

Don't understand my California style

So I sit and get drunker I'm down on my luck sir

Missin' her California smile

I think of the sunsets and the honky tonk duets

That we used to sing around town

Islands in the stream might be just what I need

To keep me from feelin' down

Two thousand twentythree

Miles

One day and ten hours away

Across the highway to the one I adore

But she ain't my baby no more

She left me for a lesser man a lesson I don't understand

I miss the son we never had

And the son she's gonna give some other man

I miss her I miss her so bad

If you see her please tell her I'm thinkin' about her

And I hope that she's doing fine

Out on the west coast there's one thing I miss most

And once upon a time she was mine
