Not Many Miles To Go
Thank you for the things you said
For not joinin' me out on the ledge
I know where you come from
That's just not done
And thank you for the diamond ring
Baby boy, your world on a string
I feel glad to honor
A thousand acts of love
I don't miss livin' so much faster
I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
And time keeps slippin' through the curtain
From this point on there's nothing certain
Except there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I sang my heart out for the crowd
Ask forgiveness from them then and now
You know where I come from
That's how it's done
I stood beside you through the blast
I thought we might never last
Now look how we shine, my dear
Like diamonds in the sun
The spinning clock and the twelve-bar disasters
Transformed by your Telecaster
We found our own way to keep the beat
(The tempo, baby)
Time keeps slippin' through the curtain
The Empire State and small-batch Bourbon
Now there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I don't miss livin' so much faster
Yeah, I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
(The tempo, baby)
And time keeps slippin' through the curtain
From this point on there's one thing certain
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
For not joinin' me out on the ledge
I know where you come from
That's just not done
And thank you for the diamond ring
Baby boy, your world on a string
I feel glad to honor
A thousand acts of love
I don't miss livin' so much faster
I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
And time keeps slippin' through the curtain
From this point on there's nothing certain
Except there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I sang my heart out for the crowd
Ask forgiveness from them then and now
You know where I come from
That's how it's done
I stood beside you through the blast
I thought we might never last
Now look how we shine, my dear
Like diamonds in the sun
The spinning clock and the twelve-bar disasters
Transformed by your Telecaster
We found our own way to keep the beat
(The tempo, baby)
Time keeps slippin' through the curtain
The Empire State and small-batch Bourbon
Now there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I don't miss livin' so much faster
Yeah, I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
(The tempo, baby)
And time keeps slippin' through the curtain
From this point on there's one thing certain
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
