NAKED MILES

this little naked milestone that i stumbled upon
see all the miles laid out naked; see how far i've gone
  a mixed blessing to see, you know
  see how far i've come and how far i've gotta go


been so long since the last station, and i'm moving every day
in between milestones, do my best to find my way
  i'm no cartographer by trade
  out here with tattered maps somebody else made

    marking every single corner of the sky
    marking every single corner of the sky
    marking every single corner of the sky
    marking every single corner of the sky



i ain't scared of no direction, but i ain't got time to try 'em all
i've got a hazy destination, the hazing slows me to a crawl
  and if i meander when i crawl, i don't care
  just gotta know the right landmarks, say i'm getting somewhere

    cuz the sky is changing as the clouds roll by
        the sky is changing as the airplanes fly
        the sky is changing right before our eyes
        the sky is changing as these days roll by
  

just this unassuming roadsign as i stumbled through the wilds
see the distance laid out naked, give or take a couple miles
  a mixed curse to know, you see
  i've come a long way but there's a long road out in front of me
