Not Many Miles To Go - Rosanne Cash

Thank you for the things you said

For not joinin' me out on the ledge

I know where you come from

That’s just not done

And thank you for the diamond ring

Baby boy, your world on a string

I feel glad to honor

A thousand acts of love

I don’t miss livin' so much faster

I’ll take care of your Telecaster

You might miss the way I keep the beat

And time keeps slippin' through the curtain

From this point on there’s nothing certain

Except there’s not many miles to go

And just one promise left to keep

I sang my heart out for the crowd

Ask forgiveness from them then and now

You know where I come from

That’s how it’s done

I stood beside you through the blast

I thought we might never last

Now look how we shine, my dear

Like diamonds in the sun

The spinning clock and the twelve-bar disasters

Transformed by your Telecaster

We found our own way to keep the beat

(The tempo, baby)

Time keeps slippin' through the curtain

The Empire State and small-batch Bourbon

Now there’s not many miles to go

And just one promise left to keep

I don’t miss livin' so much faster

Yeah, I’ll take care of your Telecaster

You might miss the way I keep the beat

(The tempo, baby)

And time keeps slippin' through the curtain

From this point on there’s one thing certain

There’s not many miles to go

And just one promise left to keep

There’s not many miles to go

And just one promise left to keep
