Miles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gabriel is tired, doesn't want to leave the van
Hiding in his sleeping bag outside the club in Spokane
He's tried to keep a record of all the places he sleeps
Dirty sofas in the living rooms of the people we meet

He's got his brand new nephews up in pictures on his phone
Saying "Man, this is one hell of a night to be so far away from home."
Tried to keep a record of all the things I've learned and lost
Like how sometimes negotiate before we know the whole cost

[Chorus]
We've got miles to go
We've got miles
We've got miles to go
We've got miles

[Verse 2]
I saw the west coast moving like a fast motion frame
Ten pre-sales and demographics wasn't just an easy escape
Push back against sentiment that lately I've changed
And at least no one mine, I could remember people's names You know we all know to avoid you when you come back from your trips
Don't ask him questions and you just want us to get
It's only kinda listening but I too understand
How the slow roll of black rubber bring out the worst in a man

[Chorus]
We've got miles to go
We've got miles
We've got miles to go
We've got miles

[Bridge]
We are able
The road turns into cane when we slow down
We've got miles

[Verse 3]
One more time with a load-out past the tired brick walls
Everybody's smelling cigarettes and making good-night calls
Thought about your table and I thought about your face
Thinking maybe I could trade this in and get those in its place

We've got miles and miles
And miles and miles to go
