It's Just Us (Live)
More Miles on the Heart
Music and Lyrics by Leslie Ellis
Well, it's easy for you 'cause you live on dumb luck
To pack up your life in a ten-foot Ryder truck.
You say that five states over is an easy cruise,
And, since I don't have much stuff, it's an easy move.
But, I see more than the physical distance between
The life ahead and the life that's been...
And it's more miles on the heart.
You say we're off to a pretty good start.
But, it's more miles on the heart
Than you'll see on these for wheels.
I'll hit the road with a heart of steel.
Well, I can't help thinkin' 'bout the last time I took a drive
With a little heart-breaker in a pretty girl's disguise.
We had just arrived and I was headin' back.
A wild goose chase on a dead-end track.
And I wouldn't have minded all the drivin' or the speedy depart,
But, there and back was takin' it's toll on my heart...
CHORUS
I guess you'll have to make your way
If I go or of I stay.
Here I'm standin' at this moment
Between some motion and a stall,
And. 'though I fear acceleration
Goin' nowhere is my greatest fear of all...
Well, okay, it seems ignition is all I need,
To get this baby rollin' at a decent speed.
So, turn the key and let the engine roar.
If I can hit the road I can close this door.
A wave of inspiration is hard to time.
So, c'mon let's go, before I change my mind...
We'll leave a cloud of doubt behind...
And it's more miles on the heart.
You say we're off to a really good start.
But, it's more miles on the heart
Than you'll see on these four wheels
When I hit the road with a heart of steel.
