Miles To Go Lyrics

(Ooh, yeah, yeah)

I've walked this road, seen some things

But there's miles to go and a song to sing

Left my hometown, dust on my boots

Chasing dreams, leaving worn out roots

The sun was burning on that lonely road

Carrying memories too heavy to hold

I saw the faces of folks I knew

Lost in the distance, faded too soon

Every step I took, a piece of me stayed

With the life I left, trying to make my way

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Distant stars

Met a man down in Memphis town

He'd been walking roads that kept pulling him down

He said, son, don't lose sight of where you're from

Or you'll find yourself fighting what you've become

Took his words, kept them close to my heart

In every city, every dive, every part

But there's a hunger in me, a need to roam

Though every road pulls me farther from home

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Distant stars, babe

I'm a wanderer, a soul without rest

Chasing shadows of dreams, I confess

And I may never find what I seek

But I'm learning the truth with every beat

I see my past in the rearview light

Ghosts of love left out of sight

I'm taking these miles one by one

Knowing I'll be different when the journey's done

And maybe I'll find my way back to you

But for now this road's the only truth

These scars tell stories, this dust is mine

I'm leaving pieces of my soul behind

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Miles to go and I'm still searching

For a place to rest where the fire's burning

Carrying these stories, feeling every scar

Looking for peace on the distant stars

Distant stars

On the distant stars

So if you see me drifting by

I'm just a man reaching for the sky

With miles to go and stories to tell

I'm searching for heaven or a place to dwell

Distant stars

On the distant stars
