hey now, mama, wont you come along and get yourself up to this song i’ll lay it 10-1 i can make you smile i am headed for the top i'm gonna rock like hell and never stop cuz i know i’m gonna make it one more mile
hey now, brother, wont you spread the news you don’t have to pick and choose there are far too many terms to reconcile but if you’ve got nothing left to lose then grab this shit and light the fuse i know we’re gonna make it one more mile
there is comfort here that has always been in these dusty bottles and wayward friends and the phonograph records gone out of style but ’til the last are first and the first are last this universe can kiss my ass cuz i know we’re gonna make it one more mile
she was holding court with the kings and queens in the dirty port of new orleans she was crying alligator tears like a little child i walked her home, i held her up we drank it down, she threw it up i told her she could make it one more mile
heaven won’t you help them all the short and sweet, the big and tall heaven wont you help the meek and mild the mini-skirt and the push-up bra i can’t get over the things i saw heaven won’t you help us one more mile
the beast is loose and the river’s high and they’re telling us to stay inside oh, sweet mama, this might take a while but if they sound the big alarm we can carry on safe from all harm i know we’re gonna make it one more mile
you feel like you’ve been here before it’s snakes and ladders and tug-of-war you don’t know if you’ve got the grit or guile but from the back of town and straight up main we are marching on come sunshine or rain and i know we’re gonna make it one more mile
mercy on the stars above mercy on the name of love there’s an mighty mighty list to check and file i’m not afraid of circumstance and i can still sing and dance i know i’m gonna make itone more mile i know you’re gonna make it one more mile i know we’re gonna make it one more mile
