[Verse 1]
G                    D
Wheels just turned a billion times,
    A               D
And I just passed a million signs,
    G                      D
The gas tanks leaks I only got three weeks,
   A                       D
So get him home to home to sputters and squeaks,
      G                    D
In my rear view glass Cape Breton fades,
         A                     D
But I’ll soon be rocked by the ocean waves,
      G                    D
And I won’t recall all the miles I drove,
        A                      D
When my wheels are cooled by a breeze in the cove.
 
 
[Chorus]
   Em                    G
Oh Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    D
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    G
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
    A            D
And I’ll be back home.
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G                  D
Where the old church bell on Sundays rings,
         A                  D
And the kettle on the stove sputters and sings,
        G            D
And the cuckoo clock ticks a lot,
           A                     D
They still listen to the news at six o’clock,
      G                    D
And a picture of the queen hangs on the wall,
A                  D
Jesus loves you, a plaque in the hall.
      G                         D
And a cat curled sleeping by an old rag doll,
     A                      D
It’s good to go home to see Nan and Pa.
 
 
[Chorus]
   Em                    G
Oh Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    D
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    G
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
    A            D
And I’ll be back home.
 
 
[Verse 3]
          G                           D
Where the crowd will be gathered by a fire on the beach,
       A                   D
As the sun sets colourful across the reach,
        G                     D
And the firemen’s ball in the old fire hall,
      A                        D
He’ll drive Aunt Bessie to the Clarenville Mall,
        G                  D
And the apple tree will be in full bloom,
        A                    D
And the bay will be lit by a big full moon,
      G                   D
I can hear my feet on the beach rock path,
        A                     D
Leading up to the door to the welcome mat.
 
 
[Chorus]
   Em                    G
Oh Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    D
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
Em                    G
Lord let me go just a few more miles,
    A            D
And I’ll be back home.
 
 
[Outro]
   Em                      G
Oh Lord let me go just for one more mile,
    A            D     D
And I’ll be back home.
