Miley Cyrus, Brandi Carlile - Thousand Miles lyrics
[Miley Cyrus, Brandi Carlile - Thousand Miles lyrics]
Amazing, I'm driving 'round town in
A beat-up old Mercedes
You think I'm crazy, you might be right
But when he smiles
I don't care about the past just like that
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
I look in the rear-view
I was talking to you 'fore I realize
This madness before the sadness
Oh, I pick up the phone and I call back home
But all I get is a dial tone
And instead of hangin' up, I hang my head
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
A beat-up old Mercedes
You think I'm crazy, you might be right
But when he smiles
I don't care about the past just like that
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
I look in the rear-view
I was talking to you 'fore I realize
This madness before the sadness
Oh, I pick up the phone and I call back home
But all I get is a dial tone
And instead of hangin' up, I hang my head
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
I told myself I closed that door
But, I'm right back here again
I know half of what I'm
Saying don't make no sense
So don't ask me where I been
I'm not always right, but still
I ain't got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don't really care
I'm out of my mind, but still
I'm holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
