Lyrics

Oh, I know I've told
You tales as tall as mountains before
But nothing can quite compare
To what happened since I crossed your door
So allow me dear to explain
Where I have been so long
And allow me to detail
How all my rightin' went wrong
I set off with my shadow
As long as the road up ahead
With a pack upon my back
And a fire burning in my head
I'd heard that my fame
And fortune waited for me
And redemption and salvation
Came as a guarantee
But then the rain came down
And it washed away the trail
Scrambling in the mud
I was dodging the sleet and the hail
Once the tempest passed, fate
It granted me a wild horse
But the price that I paid meant
I was blown away
95 miles off my course
We carried on until the dust filled our weary eyes
We pulled into a place
Where strangers are a strange surprise
"Excuse me sir"
I said, "could you help me on my way?"
But the look that I received told me
That I couldn't stay
I finished up my drink quick
And I headed for the door
When a voice from the corner cried "hey boy
Wait a minute more"
"It's plain for me to see
You've been on the road such a while
So stay for just one glass
See if it can't make you smile"
But like the fool I am
I took him for his word
My mind got strangled
And my vision got blurred
On the roadside, in a ditch
Without a stitch, I was found
And I wouldn't so much mind the indignity
If I didn't have 95 miles in front of me
Oh, I've met nothing but trouble
Since I've been on the road
I thought I'd broke the journey's back
But it's crippling me with its load
Round here, the storms come quick
And they leave just as fast
So if I saddle myself up
And tie myself to the mast
And if the clouds don't break
And Lady Luck sees it right
Oh honey baby
I might be home by tomorrow night
But I wouldn't place that bet
'Cos it's not hard to forget
There's 95 miles in front of me yet
