I Walked For Miles Lyrics

Gave up the ghost on 129

It wasn't looking good as I made that climb

In the middle of the wild

And two lane black top

Not much else, no one would stop

I walked for miles, following the tracks

The sun beat down and burned my back

I walked for miles on a lonely road

Hoping to find salvation that ain't borrowed

A desert filled with trees and nothing to eat

I thought I'd hitch a ride and rest my feet

My lonely thumb felt good in the open air

It didn't do no good

Passed by me without care

I walked for miles, following the tracks

The sun beat down and burned my back

I walked for miles on a lonely road

Hoping to find salvation that ain't borrowed

Then the darkness came

The moon shone so bright

Still without wheels I journeyed through the night

Then I heard a diesel

Sounding like a train

Picked me up and I was on the road again

The diesel smelled like roses

As he put the hammer down

I thanked him very much and offered to buy a round

No need he said

Then we pulled into town

Just pour one out for me

I'm off to the next town

I walked for miles, following the tracks

The sun beat down and burned my back

I walked for miles on a lonely road

Hoping to find salvation that ain't borrowed

Hoping to find salvation that ain't borrowed

Hoping to find salvation that ain't borrowed
