Hog Time

Primarily acoustic music in a folk, blues, light rock or country flavor. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, percussion

Hog Time Music is the creative outlet of Ralph Goff. I write most of the songs and record them in my home based studio, Hog Time Studio. I'm backed up on many songs by my long time musical partner and friend, John Jett, playing banjo and resonator guitar. John is also the artist of the Hog Time Music drawing. I primarily play acoustic guitar (1969 Martin D18, Taylor 812C and 1963 Gibson Southern Jumbo), and add some fills with mandolin on some songs. In addition, most vocal work is by me. Computer generated drum and bass is also used on some songs.

Story behind the song

I was RVing this last summer and the words "Thirty more miles to Mississippi" came into my head.  Can't remember if I was listening to anything specific or not.  And .... I wasn't even headed for Mississippi. :)

THIRTY MORE MILES
==============

Thirty more miles to Mississippi
Thirty more miles to home
Thirty more miles til I see my honey
And hold her in my arms
I’ve been gone a mighty long time
Lawd I miss her so
But only got … 30 more miles to go
Yes just … 30 more miles to go

Thirty long days I've been gone
Thirty days all alone
Thirty days of playing bars and dives
And singing my own songs
I've been tempted many a time
But always slept alone
Now only got … 30 more miles to go
Yes just … 30 more miles to go


Thirty years we've been married
Thirty years of mostly bliss
Thirty years she's put up with my traveling
And I always got my kiss
Now I've decided it's been long enough
I'm through with this troubadour life
Now only got … 30 more miles to go
Yes just … 30 more miles to go

Thirty more miles to go (3 times)
