A Thousand Miles To Go

A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. A chip upon my shoulder right next to all the blame. I’m running from the future, I’m running from the past. I may be going nowhere but I’m going to get there fast. Heading toward the mountains, find a cave where I can hide. I told her I’d be back but I think she knew I lied. I thought it could be different but I’ll always be the same, A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. Temporarily insane, at least that’s what I’ll claim. Prosecutor, judge and jury stalking right behind. I hope she will believe me when I say I’ve lost my mind. I started out with nothing but the clothes upon my back. Left behind the little things, now I feel the lack. Just when you learn the rules love will always change the game. A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. It’s long past time to leave but I’m very glad I came. I knew my time was up when I saw her loaded gun. On your mark, get set and go. So long and it’s been fun. All the things I told her just hoping she’d believe. Now I just don’t know exactly who has been deceived. But I am just a lone wolf, a beast she’ll never tame. A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name.
