Lyrics
"One More Mile (To Go)"

Paint the town
A million shades of
What makes me and you
Feel we're bound to lose
One more round
A shot might work some magic
In this town
It's the trick that plays the clown
Always let them see you there
So they won't forget, and not regret it
Always let them see, right there
The anger in your eyes . . . we got
One more mile to go
One more mile to go
And never let them see you sweat
You might forget, we got one more mile to go
All night long
The heroes and the villains
Buy you drinks
It kinda makes you think
All night long
The heroes and the dandies
Make the scene
And they're lookin' kinda mean
Always let them see you there
So they won't forget, and not regret it
Always let them see, right there
The anger in your eyes . . . we got
One more mile to go
One more mile to go
And never let them see you sweat
You might forget, we got one more mile to go
