Topic: Not Far
This is just a song about dreams, memories, friends, family, ending up where you end up and figuring out where you are is where you want to be, at least in my case. I hope you all like it.
Not Far By Jeff Gilpin
January 20th, 2008
Verse 1
[D]I had a friend
Who always wanted to be somebo[A7]dy
He [D]told me all his dreams
And how he’d get to where he’d want to [A7]be
[G]Said one day he would be a [A]big famous movie [D]star [G]
He said It’s like I already see it [A] and it’s not [D]far [A]
Verse 2
[D]Traveling across the country
Traveling so far west I ended up [A7]east
[D]Roadblocks and distractions
Made the road I traveled quite a [A7]beast
[G]Waiting for a ride in an [A]airport I wished upon a [D]star [G]
I [G]caught another plane traveling a[A]gain but not [D]far [D7]
Chorus
So [G]choose your destination
But [A]make sure you’re not where you want to [D]be [D7]
[G]Think about what you want in the end
Not all you want to [A7]see.
For [G]some folks that as easy as
[A]Driving down the road in their [D]car [G]
For me I’ll be satisfy[A]ied
Staying wherever you [D]are [A]
Verse 3
[D]I’ve thought about it for a while
Longer than I needed to some [A7]nights
[D]When I know I should have been
Asleep in bed tucked in [A7]tight
[G]Looking out the window I [A]see the morning [D]star [G]
Guess I just spent another [A]night not getting very [D]far [A]
Verse 4
[D]Thinking about Coulda, shoulda, wouldas
Only hurt my [A7]head
[D]Could have been much worse
If I would have done something else in[A7]stead
[G]Wondering mostly what my boy will [A]get out of this [D]war [G]
Though he’s across the world in my [A]mind he’s not very [D]far[D7]
Chorus
So [G]choose your destination
But [A]make sure you’re not where you want to [D]be [D7]
[G]Think about what you want in the end
Not all you want to [A7]see.
For [G]some folks that as easy as
[A]Driving down the road in their [D]car [G]
For me I’ll be satisfy[A]ied
Staying wherever you [D]are [A]
Verse 5
[D]Miles and smiles rattle round
The memories I’m sorting in my [A7]mind
The [D]bad ones and the good ones
The pleasant and the ones best left be[A7]hind
A [G]trip with my father just [A]me and him in his [D]car [G]
Asking if we were close and [A]him saying it’s not [D]far [A]
Verse 6
Now my [D]family’s separated
Scattered out there across the [A7]earth
[D]We’re all living so far apart
Like we’ve been traveling since [A7]birth
[G]In my mind I see them and [A]wonder how on earth they [D]are [G]
Always with me in my [A]mind I don’t need to travel [D]far [D7]
Chorus
So [G]choose your destination
But [A]make sure you’re not where you want to [D]be [D7]
[G]Think about what you want in the end
Not all you want to [A7]see.
For [G]some folks that as easy as
[A]Driving down the road in their [D]car [G]
For me I’ll be satisfy[A]ied
Staying wherever you [D]are [A] [G] [D]
