lyrics

i can't talk my pain outa me
somethin' i was born with somethin' i gotta keep
maybe one day when the wind blows wild and free
but i can't talk my pain outa me

hey i can't drink my pain outa me
i tell it to go and it stays and never leaves
so give me a glass of wine or two or three
cause i can't drink my pain outa me

and i said ho - how many more miles do i gotta go
i don't really know
and i said hey - a hundred million miles and i'm not far enough
but i'm really tough

so i said pain why do you mess with me
i can't seem to figure out your life long mystery
so i sing this song and make you gone from my company
and it won't be long 'fore i can be set free

and pain said hey you been runnin away from me
but you can't run from me and my friend misery
there's only one way for you to be set free
you gotta turn and love your enemy

and i said ho - how many more miles do i gotta go
i don't really know
and i said hey - a hundred million miles and i'm not far enough
but i'm really tough

and i said ho - how many more miles do i gotta go
i don't really know
