lyrics

(instrumental)

There's a level crossing out at Miller's Bend
Where the radio gives out for half a mile
I sing over the static every Friday
And I've been doing it since April with a smile

Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend (Miller's Bend)
Forty minutes and I'm there, Miller's Bend
I've worn a groove into that road
Miller's Bend

Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend
That's where I decided, and I never told you when
Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend
Three weeks back, in the static, at the bend

You've had it in your pocket since July, I know
Your mother's had the good plates out since spring
You keep almost saying it on the porch at ten
And I have been so patient, which is not my thing

(key change up)
I already said yes. In the car. To nobody.
Somewhere between the crossing and the second gate.
So take as long as you like. I'm not going anywhere.

Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend
That's where I decided, and I never told you when
Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend, Miller's Bend
Three weeks back, in the static, at the bend

(Miller's Bend...)
