    "No matter what the odometer says, High Mileage runs like a dream"   Elmore Magazine

    "Pharis’ weathered, fraying vocal compares the automotive hulk to his own biological shell. He concludes that both may be battered but they’ll get the job done, an attitude that serves as the theme for this set of originals and country blues and gospel covers.

    Pharis does more than accept human frailties here; he cherishes them with infectious good humor." Acoustic Guitar Magazine November 2018

lyrics

Drift Away

Life is like a book
with tales of enemies and friends
the first page is birth
the last page is life's end

All that we're sure of
when we write the very first page
is that the book will end
and we'll all just drift away

CHORUS

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
on our passing day

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
we all just drift away

The words of our life's story
is written in each page
by those we meet and what we do
along lifes way

when the words of your days
are committed to the page
will you be proud of your story
as you drift away

CHORUS

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
on our passing day

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
we all just drift away

The time will surely come
for our book to end
all of our pages are in place

when you close the cover
of your lifes book
will there be stories left to tell
as you drift away

CHORUS

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
on our passing day

Drift away, drift away
when life's story ends
we all just drift away
