Paroles de Put Some Miles On

Said the saint to the sinner
"Give me some bread before my dinner
A pad of butter in the oven
Before the push comes to the shovin'"
I can see that something changed
A little older but still the same

What did you do?
What did you do?
What did you do?
What did you do?

I put some miles on
Put some miles on
A zig-zag marathon
I put some miles on

Had a long way to go
From the last gig to the next show
I was beat and I was tired
But the AM radio was so inspired
I had to drive overnight
Kansas City by the harsh daylight
I stuck my head out to feel the breeze
And then I took a few of these

I was losing sight
Of what I needed
I mean, my compass
Was seriously impeded
The needle wouldn’t land
On anything that I could understand
I needed myself a soul midwife
To birth the cool and make it all feel right
I felt my inspiration heading south
I took the horn out of my mouth

I put some miles on
And heard the space between the notes
A power-sonic Babylon
I put some miles on
I put some miles on
Still a long long way to go
A zig-zag marathon
I put some miles on
