about

"Ten Miles" is a daring, down and dirty, folk rock song based on the immigration stories of Jerry's family lines from Europe, escaping oppressive regimes and unforgiving gendarmes in the nick of time to find a better life in America.

lyrics

Ten miles down the road
We'll see what our future holds
The times have us in a stranglehold
Winds of change leave us cold
So sister, Mom and me
We're in this together
We're gonna find out what can be
Wherever, whenever
We're leaving tomorrow night
For a long time, could be forever

Ten miles down the road
We'll see what our future holds
Slipping free of what they say we owed
Are we heading for a kind of fool's gold?
So hide it in your shoes
They'd better not find it
Lie if you need to
It's fair game around here
They're coming for us and they're not just
It means getting out alive or bust

Ten miles down the road

Ten miles down the road
We'll see what our future holds
Holding tight but letting go
Of everything and everyone we know
So sister, Mom and me
Make a break for the border
We're gonna make it, we will see!
A last look over shoulder
April wind feeling warmer now
i think we'll make it, I don't know how

Ten miles down the road
