Miles of Pain

about

This song is dedicated to all of those who live their lives on the road.

lyrics

Two lanes of blacktop and a fresh cigar.
Blinded by the sun, still drunk from the bar.
Voice still hurting from the night before.
No need to bitch, cause Iv’e got three more.

Made a deal with these folks, about a month ago.
Now they forgot to pay me, after my show.
Theres something about numbers,
I don’t understand.
The 38 in my boot might start talking again.

Playing my songs now, every night.
For people like me, who struggle, through life.
Don’t think retirement’s in sight.
So I’ll roll down the road in the middle of night.

Chorus:
Now I can’t tell the van from a cheap motel.
So many more miles, between here and hell.
Playing for a dollar, you don’t know my name.
Rolling through the years,
and the miles of pain.
