How Many Miles

Beat it up and dragged it far down the alley
Curiosity and wild thoughts just beneath my nails
Though
Maybe sometimes I made it seem more than what it was
Standing on the edge of what y'all call reality
Can't see past the clouds
What else could there be?
If all not water, but with thirst to drink it purely

The music calls me back
Telling me how many more miles
I need to walk
'Cause I promised them all smiles
And when the night comes I'll go
One more step in a direction I don't yet know

Will we ever see the start
Or the end of anything?
Internationally killed for like a diamond ring

The music calls me back
Telling me how many more miles
I need to walk
'Cause I promised them all smiles
And when the night comes I'll go
One more step in a direction I don't yet know

When a promise expires
With it dies a desire
Trapped on the pursuit of happiness
Climbing up this mess
What you see is what you get
I work hard at every step
Give thanks for where I am now
Part of the puzzle that might fit somehow

The music calls me back
Telling me how many more miles
I need to walk
'Cause I promised them all smiles
And when the night comes I'll go
One more step in a direction I don't yet know

The music calls me back
Telling me more miles
Oh, smile
