Miles Still to Go

Intro

Verse

Mmm

Yeah

Verse

There’s an old coat hanging by the doorway

Faded blue and fraying at the seams

Wore it through a thousand miles of living

And a hundred half-forgotten dreams

There’s a photograph above the fireplace

Young man smiling like he knew it all

Now I see his face there every morning

And wonder how we made it through it all

Pre-Chorus

Time leaves lines you can’t erase

But every one has earned its place

Chorus

I’ve got miles still to go

Though I’m moving a little slower

Got some silver in my hair

Got a little more weight on my shoulders

Every scar tells where I’ve been

Every road brought me back home

I may not run like I did back then

But I’ve got miles still to go

Verse

She was dancing barefoot in the kitchen

Radio playing some old country song

I remember thinking in that moment

Lord, I hope this woman stays this long

Now we watch the evening from the front porch

Her hand fits mine like it always did

We don’t talk about getting any older

We just laugh about the things we did

Pre-Chorus

Years can change the way we move

But they can’t take away the truth

Chorus

I’ve got miles still to go

Though I’m moving a little slower

Got some silver in my hair

Got a little more weight on my shoulders

Every scar tells where I’ve been

Every road brought me back home

I may not run like I did back then

But I’ve got miles still to go

Bridge

Someday I’ll hang these old boots up

Leave the keys there by the door

Take one last look across these fields

And won’t need them anymore

But that day ain’t here tonight

There’s still a little daylight left

Still a woman I can hold

Still some living in my chest

Break

So pour another cup

And pull your chair up close

We’ve still got stories left to make

Before this old road ends

Chorus

I’ve got miles still to go

And I don’t mind going slower

Every sunrise means a little more

With her head here on my shoulder

I’ve lost some things along the way

But I know what matters most

It’s not how fast you make the miles

It’s who you’re walking home with

I’ve got miles still to go

And when my final day arrives

I hope she knows she made the journey

The best part of my life

These old boots are worn and weathered

But they ain’t done just yet

There’s another road tomorrow

And a little daylight left
