Every Mile For Us

You spent your mornings on the gravel road

Carrying the weight of a heavy load

Never asked for much,

always let it slide

Putting your own wishes deep inside

But we saw the dreams that you traded away

And we counted down to this golden day

(we knew,

we knew)

Now here's the keys to the open road

For every single mile that we were owed

This is the promise that we made to you

Your turn to watch your dreams come true!

There’s a giant red bow on the shiny chrome

A piece of your youth we have carried home

(haha) You read the small note and you start to cry

No more holding back,

look into our eyes

You gave us everything you had to give

You taught us how to stand and how to live

Now take a breath,

let the engine roar (take it all in) Here's the keys to

the open road

For every single mile that we were owed

This is the promise that we made to you

Your turn to watch your dreams come true!

For every mile... (we love you,

dad)
