200 Miles Away

Aaron Traffas

Intro

D G D G

Verse

D

I hear the coyotes calling

G A

Their melancholy pierces the night

D

I feel those wheat fields waving

G A

Calling me with their collective spite

G

I know tomorrow morning

D G

Fate will dictate my part

Em

But I never believed in fate

A

Because I know the coyote’s heart

Chorus

D G

You’re 200 miles away

D

On the other side of the state

G

And I’m going round and round in a wheat field

A

Trying to beat the rain

D G

The sun goes down; it won’t matter much

Em

We’ll keep on cutting ‘till the straw gets tough

A

I’ll be free when we get through

D

I'll head back to town and back to you

Outside the chaff is blowing

Inside my muscles ache

Outside the sun is setting

In it I see your face

I’ll be damned if I leave

Before the harvest moon assumes a crescent shape

I’d hit the road with the hammer down

If only I could these fetters break

I see the storm clouds rolling

Oklahoma's gift: the rain

I see the weather, unlike you,

Never minded the grain

The squall line across the field moves

Just like your life crossed mine

As I roll the tarp I think

I should have been done in time
