Miles

Lyrics

[Intro] Boy, you better learn something 'Cause you keep working out here in this hotass gravel On this damn truck all your life [Verse 1] Spray a little ether in the breather And hope she cranks Pour a little Folgers from the thermos And take a drink Hardpack them Marlboro reds Check the oil and the recap treads Little Rock'n'roller on the radio You're gonna miss your boys But it's time to go [Chorus] Put eighteen hours on eighteen wheels With little white pills nippin' at your heels Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind Ridin' high till you run out It's an uphill battle just gearin' down Try'n'a to get somewhere on a road that just don't end Racin' time and losin' miles you'll never get back again [Verse 2] Little boy wishin' he was fishin' in his dreams Never got to know you too good Now he says things he don't mean Ya couldn't make a good thing last Always had to go so fast But age caught up, slowed you down And the days, they just fly by now [Chorus] Like eighteen hours on eighteen wheels With little white pills nippin' at your heels Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind Ridin' high till you run out It's an uphill battle just gearin' down Try'n'a to get somewhere on a road that just don't end Racin' time and losin' miles you'll never get back again [Bridge] Well. this cat in the cradle never got a silver spoon Now I run the roads just like you There's cities between her and me And a real-life Man, I swear that it feels like [Chorus] Eighteen hours on eighteen wheels With little white pills nippin' at my heels Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind Ridin' high till I run out It's an uphill battle just gearin' down Try'n'a to get somewhere on a road that just don't end Racin' time and losin' miles I'll never get back again
