about

washy, trippy...
Referenced a bit of Buffalo Springfield on this.
Late '60's early '70's
The possibilities for what "made" a song seemed endless...
Was the sun brighter then?

lyrics

DISTANCE CHANGES EVERYTHING
WORDS/MUSIC: BILL MALLONEE

Meet me at the station...nah, it shouldn’t take long
the drinks are pretty good there and there’s a train waitin’ to be gone
with a guitar and an old soul; some ragged scraps of verse
distance changes everything...for better or for worse

CHORUS:
Distance changes everything...
Distance changes everything

Distance is a boxer...a butterfly and a bee
if you get inside the ring with her; you just wait to feel sting
you have to stare down that bravado...by thinking backwards in reverse
distance changes everything...for better or for worse

For some it turns out lucky...for others, not so much
for some it all turns to gold...everything they clutch
Do you think you chose the blessing? Or were you hand-picked by the curse?
distance changes everything...for better or for worse

Lemme know when the ride is over (Bm4-D4-A8)
When it’s cool to push the lap bar up (Bm4-G4-D8)
give me things that last forever (Cm8 D8)
when it’s real life...U can’t ever get enough (Em8 A8)

Meet me at the station...and don’t forget your heart
send a piece of yours up ahead...and I never will get lost
I hope everyone’s included...when the last shall be the first and...
Distance changes everything...for better of for worse
Distance changes everything...for better or for worse
