Faron Young – It’s Not The Miles You Traveled lyrics

Composer(s) – David Hall and Louis Redding

I see that you're well traveled probably been around the world
I don't think that's the answer ‘coz you're still a lonely girl
Don't tell me the things you've done the places you have stayed
If it's not the miles you traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you made

Each stop has left a mark that even time cannot erase
They cannot be forgotten ‘coz they're written on your face
I wonder if you felt true love in all the games you played
If it's not the miles you traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you made

So traveling girl move on to places far away from here
And don't let me be reminded that I almost held you near
I could learn to love ya but I'd still be so afraid
If I can't go the miles you traveled
I don't wanna be another stop you made

If it's not the miles you traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you made
