Lyrics
Mile Markers
V1
I remember the high school days had the pedal down
Didn?t care if I new my way I was headed out of town
Had my baby and a tank full of gas ready to make my move
In a hurry going nowhere fast I?ve got nothing but time to lose
Chorus
Watching the mile markers go by
No stopping along the way, no u-turns to yesterday
Watching the mile markers go by
Trying to live each moment like it?s the last one of my life
They used to go by so slow now they seem to fly
Watching the mile markers go by
V2
Years have passed I?m still racing the clock, Still got the pedal down
Making a living driving this old truck, headed from town to town
Time is money that?s already spent keeping my nose to the grind
Don?t know where all those good days went
Seems now they?re hard to find
Chorus
Watching the mile markers go by
No stopping along the way, no u-turns to yesterday
Watching the mile markers go by
Trying to live each moment like it?s the last one of my life
They used to go by so slow now they seem to fly
Watching the mile markers go by
Bridge
A young man passes going faster Takes me back to yesterday
Watching the mile markers go by
Watching the mile markers go by
Watching the mile markers go by
Watching the mile markers go by
Watching the mile markers go
