It's Not The Miles You Traveled

(album: One's On The Way - 1972)

I see that you're well traveled round 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
If 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 cause they're written on your face
I wonder if you felt true love in all the games you play
If it's not the miles you've traveled
Then surely it must be the stops you've made

So traveling man move on to places far away from here
And baby don't remind me that you 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 travel
I don't wanna be another stop you've made
