lyrics

"miles"

words & music by ron leary © 2008

miles in the street
born that way
three fights a week
black eyes like you never seen

left alone
father drunk every day
mother’s off with another
he’s got a child on the way

oh you know how it goes
just like fate
from days of youth
destined for a desperate life

ain’t no jobs for his kind
down on the line
have to find a way
have to fight to stay alive

he shot a man
in the back one day
didn’t seem to care
expected it was coming his way

now how to love this man
is it ever too late
can’t erase time
but why go kill another man

is your heart in your eyes
for love might save a life
is your heart in your eyes
for love might save a life
a life
