1000 miles to go

1000 Miles to Go (M. McDonald, C. Smith)



There's a honky smiling Jasper with his fingers in the blizzard sky

Calling our names in alphabetical order

On this road you sleep lightly cuz sometimes it's interrupted

With a reality beyond imagination



We still got a thousand miles to go

We still got a thousand miles to go



So keep right of the center line, try hard to make real good time

And make sure you keep both hands on the wheel

Cuz when you drive right into glory each piece of glass will tell you

On this road there aren't that many rules



Chorus



Eighteen wheels shining ghostly white

I was trying to find the absent moon

Eighty tons of twisted steel

We've got a date with fate real soon

Then all the windows popped like balloons



Chorus



Now there's a frowning Jasper and as we drive away

We can all feel his hand on our shoulder

All the flares have fizzled out now as we ride into the day

And not one of us was feeling any older



Chorus
