3,000 Miles
Tracy Chapman

Good girls walk fastnIn groups of threenFast girls walk slownOn side streetsnSometimes the girls who walk alonenAren’t found for days or weeksnnOn the busy boulevardsnBad boys call you namesnAnd cruise you hardnBullies laugh and grin and beatnYour soft skin againstnThe cold concretennI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynnKnock you downnMake you bleednMake you crynAnd make you thinknI’ll die here soon if I don’t leavenIf I don’t leave—if I don’t leavennThis patch of sky and native groundnTake turns to push and pull you downnForget trying to live and be happynI’ll take safe and terror freennI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynnHit the floornShut off the lightsnAs the bullets flynTerror rules the dark nightnDogs hand from the treesnnTraining ground for punks and thievesnHome of poor white retireesnWho didn’t bailnAnd couldn’t seelnWhen color made the grass less greennnI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynnApples are filled with razor bladesnBut fools and innocents believenThat love and faith and truth and beautynCan make a garden of this human factorynnI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynnBad girls run fastnLeave home alonenNo trace or clue of where they’ve gonenSometimes these girls are never foundnNever found—never foundnnI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles awaynI’m 3,000 miles away
