The Miles On My Shoes

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
They locked me up: 20 years' time
To sit in a room with the dank and the grime
And scribble a note on the prison walls
Don’t be the one that they make fall

[PreChorus 1]
Water pours through the drain of your soul
No salvation
Shoes black as coal

[Chorus]
Wandering the seas of unfair sand
Hoping for a helping hand
Sometimes it's hard to be a rebel
Some days I might get the blues
But then I stop! ... and count out
The miles on my shoes

[Verse 2]
Crusin' down 80 going 95
No one’s around floor the pedal and drive
Battle the day's dark twisted sun
Fight for the night without a gun

[PreChorus 2]
The license plate reads out the words
Digital to some, but to others unheard

[Chorus]
Wandering the seas of unfair sand
Hoping for a helping hand
Sometimes it's hard to be a rebel
Some days I might get the blues
But then I stop and count out
The miles on my shoes

[Interlude]
Oh-oh-whoa-oh
Oh-oh-whoa-oh
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-oooh!

[Verse 3]
A blind man's hearing guiding me
I'll fight the danger I cannot see
But I'm still stranded in this world
Just waiting for my route to unfurl

[Chorus]
Wandering the seas of unfair sand
Hoping for a helping hand
Sometimes it's hard to be a rebel
Some days I might get the blues
But then I stop! ... and count out
The miles on my shoes

[Outro]
