I know you\u2019ve been wanderin\u2019 for many long days
And you\u2019re still prone to wander I know
You\u2019re a hard ramblin\u2019 man in a hard ramblin\u2019 land
With miles and miles left to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a child you would say, you would find it someday
Adventure, and a life on the road
It\u2019s been years and it seems, you\u2019re still chasing those dreams
With miles and miles left to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miles and miles to the warmth of a bed
Miles and miles just to lay down your head
Miles and miles with a heart made of lead
Miles and miles and then one day you\u2019re dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well sometimes your roamin\u2019 will carry you home and
You can\u2019t let your tired heart show
You can only be you for a brief night or two
With miles and miles left to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I know you feel small, and at times beaten down
It\u2019s a cold lonely life on the road
There\u2019s no home here for you, and you\u2019re just passing through
With miles and miles left to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But don\u2019t let your heart get so heavy just yet
You\u2019re too young to carry that load
Your stomach is strong, and your road is still long
With miles and miles left to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miles and miles to the warmth of a bed
Miles and miles just to lay down your head
Miles and miles with a heart made of lead
Miles and miles and then one day you\u2019re dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
