"Thousand Miles" - Iron and Wine

hello all,

i was lying down on my back, chilling the other day, back in la, enjoying the newborn summer and what not. you know, arms behind my head as if i was just about to be put under arrest for lounging. enjoying and thinking about my freedom on that tuesday afternoon, i just noticed this small birthmark/mole thing on the inside of my bicep for the first time and wondered how long it had been there and why i didn't notice it before.

just one of the side effects of living for yourself, right? but you know, with freedom comes accountability and with freedom comes independence and with freedom comes self-reliance and it's wonderful...this independence comes at quite a small price, and it's not check-to-check, either. what more than having a few minor things go unnoticed and another slice of pizza that you shouldn't have, and purchasing family-sized bottles of bourbon at costco with no reservations, right? i mean, a tree falls in the forest and it doesn't matter whether or not it makes a sound.

i have a birthmark/mole thing on the inside of my arm.

a tree fell in the forest and it sounded like this...

THOUSAND MILES

Pull the braid from your hair, so it falls down your back
I just passed Spartanburg, cigarettes on the dash
Will you wait on the swing, in the front of the house?
Or the steps of the porch in a white cotton blouse?

Thousand miles that I drove, thirty more left to go
Will you cry when you wake, when you see me today?
Is your father at home? Does he know where I’ve been?
He don’t like me because I remind you of him
Let’s just drive to the point, watch the sky lose the light
I’ve been gone far too long not to kiss you tonight

Thousand miles that I drove, thirty more left to go
Will you cry when you wake, when you see me today?
