500 Miles
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics by Ragan Courtney and Peter Link

I donno
I donno
I jus’ don’t know how we’re ever gonna make it
It’s too long a road
For one little baby. (It ain’t right!)
An’ a woman with child
Oh Lord, help us now! We really need ya’ ta’ be payin’ attention!
I donno
No I donno
I jus’ don’t know how we’re ever gonna make it
We’re plum outta miracles
An’ I still don’t know what good I am
Me an’ them
Got a long way ta’ go
Ha! Goin’ no place
Goin’ no place
Goin’ no place
Now what’s the point of it all ‘a goin’ no place
For 500 miles
500 miles. (It’s a long way ta’ California!)
500 miles
For 500 miles

I donno
No I donno
I jus’ don’t know If this little one can take it
With me walkin’ this road
I carry this burden
That I never wished for
But I took the job
So I’m good fer it, but it sure is a lotta walkin’!
So I donno
No I donno
I jus’ don’t know If I got the stuff ta’ make it
An’ carry this little one
It’s a huge responsibility
An’ a cross ta’ bear
Much bigger than me
I’m jus’ a back country girl
Wantin’ nothin’
Nearly nothin’
So what’s the point of it all ‘a pushin’ onward
For 500 miles

We don’t stand a ghost of a chance
500 miles
But what else can we do
500 miles
When there’s nothing left to turn to
500 miles
But keep on pressin’ on
500 miles
Through all our wearied trials
For 500 miles
An’ trek those last 500 miles

I donno
No I donno
I jus’ don’t know if I can keep on fakin’ it
I’ve run outta promises
They all look to me like
I know what I’m doin’!
But I ain’t got a clue
Yet I’m sloggin’ on
Yes, I’m sloggin’ on
I jus’ don’t know if I can keep on fakin’ it
This leadin’ the way
Ta’ some flimflam bullshit paradise
That no one but a fool could believe in
It’s wishful thinkin’
It’s jus’ a pipe dream
We’re goin’ no place
An’ what’s the point of it all goin’ no place
For 500 miles

We don’t stand a ghost of a chance
500 miles
But what else can we do
500 miles
When there’s nothing left to turn to
500 miles
But keep on pressin’ on
500 miles
Through all our wearied trials
For 500 miles
An’ trek those last 500 miles
