Not Many Miles to Go

Thank you for the things you said For not joinin' me out on the ledge I know where you come from That's just not done And thank you for the diamond ring Baby boy, your world on a string I feel glad to honor A thousand acts of love I don't miss livin' so much faster I'll take care of your Telecaster You might miss the way I keep the beat And time keeps slippin' through the curtain From this point on there's nothing certain Except there's not many miles to go And just one promise left to keep I sang my heart out for the crowd Ask forgiveness from them then and now You know where I come from That's how it's done I stood beside you through the blast I thought we might never last Now look how we shine, my dear Like diamonds in the sun The spinning clock and the twelve-bar disasters Transformed by your Telecaster We found our own way to keep the beat (The tempo, baby) Time keeps slippin' through the curtain The Empire State and small-batch Bourbon Now there's not many miles to go And just one promise left to keep I don't miss livin' so much faster Yeah, I'll take care of your Telecaster You might miss the way I keep the beat (The tempo, baby) And time keeps slippin' through the curtain From this point on there's one thing certain There's not many miles to go And just one promise left to keep There's not many miles to go And just one promise left to keep
