True more or less,
It's driven by the effect of the Moon's gravity on the rotating Earth. Tides raised in the oceans cause drag and thus slow the Earth's spin-rate. The resulting loss of angular momentum is compensated for by the Moon speeding up, and thus moving further away.

@relentless-red saidI have sometimes missed my house by that much on the way back from the pub.
You have to admit that if you were out by that much on your way to the pub you'd be disappointed though.
