Loretta Lynn
It’s Not the Miles You’ve Traveled
I see that you're well-traveled
Around the world and back again
I don’t think that's the answer
'Cause you’re still a lonely man
Now don't tell me the things you've done
And the places you have stayed
'Cause it's not the miles you've traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you've made
Each stop has left a mark
That even time cannot erase
They cannot be forgotten
Because they're written on your face
I wonder if you’ve felt true love
In all the games you’ve played
If it's not the miles you’ve traveled
Then surely it must be the stop you've made
So travel, man, move on to places
Far away from here
And, baby, don't remind me
That you've almost held me near
I could learn to love you
But I’d still be so afraid
If I can't go the miles you've traveled
I don't want to be another stop you've made
