Lyrics
MILE AFTER MILE / © 1976 James Barton
From the Tornado CD
In the beginning it was easy
I was simply satisfied
A shot of whiskey on the old highway
To take me for a ride
And then my hands were shaking
I’d been faking for a long, long while
If it was there I’d take it
I’d make it mile after mile
In the beginning, when you left me
I was simply satisfied
With sunshine through my front door
And the letters you might write
And then my hands were shaking
I’d been faking for a long, long while
If it was there I’d take it
I’d make it mile after mile
Take a lady, lose her in the sand
Stock up your defenses while she’s with another man
What a turnabout, what a sight to see
Who would ever guess that you’d be living here with me
In the beginning it was easy,
But it’s easier today
You’re the sunshine through my front door
And I’ll love you come what may
And now my soul is shaking
I’ve been faking for a long, long while
Now I know you saved me
You made me mile after mile
You made me mile after mile
Made me mile after mile
Made me mile after mile
Made me mile after mile
Made me mile after mile
Made me mile after mile
