The Final Mile Lyrics

As the tale is told

As the dream unfolds

While the tension grows

As I'm growing older

Sometimes I think it's damned

And that misery's part of the plan

I believe when it comes down to it

That I will retrieve you from the bottom of it

Oh lord, if I run out of time

I'll make a break for the final mile

If my legs are tired

And my passion is all but mired

And each obstacle waits

To pollute my mind with hating what we are

I believe when it comes down to it

That I will retrieve you from the bottomless pit

Oh lord, if I run out of fire

I'll make a break for the final mile

I'll make a break for the final mile

If my soul is lost

And my spirit is drowned by the cost

If I do not feel that my body is loaned

If I own anything, then I am owned

I believe when it comes down to it

That I will retrieve you from the bottom of it

Oh lord, if I run out of time

I'll make a break for the final mile

I'll make a break for the final mile

I'll make a break for the final mile

You know I will make a break for the final mile

I'm gonna run
