Miles Away (For Rick Bragg)
Music and Lyrics By: The Head
Jack Shaw, Mike Shaw, and Jacob Morell
Class of 2010
The finest days are here
An angry dad and a beer
The lonely mom tries to make it better
Runs and hides, tries to escape the fetter
The happy days are gone
A brand new dog and a home
The sorry mom tries to make the breakfast
Runs and hides, tries to make him worth it
Miles Away
The dreaming days are far
A working man finds a bar
The dirty mom burns another burden
At the field, where the knuckle’s hurting
Miles Away
Miles Away
This song was inspired by “All Over But the Shouting,” a book the
boys read at HSP for Mrs. DeFilippi’s English class.
