Oh you know it has been such a hard hard journey, I don't have to cry no more

Keep your light up burnin', so I can know the score

I got one more mile, oh you know I only got one more mile to go

Oh you know my journey was so hard,

but I don't have to worry 'bout you no more



Oh you know they tell me that thousands of schoolkids, every one have a mate

The little girl that I love, she the richest in the state

I got one more mile, oh you know I only got one more mile to go

Oh you know my journey has been so hard,

but I don't have to worry 'bout you no more



- solo -



Oh you know I made a mistake for gamblin', I betted my money wrong

I was bettin' on my baby, but she weren't even at home

I got one more mile, oh you know I got one more mile to go

Oh you know it has been such a long journey,

but I don't have to cry 'bout you no more.
