10 Miles To Go On A 9 Mile Road Lyrics

They tell me miracles abound now more than ever, but I don't care. They say it's
better to be blessed than it is to be clever, but I don't care. 'Cause I got 10
miles to go on a 9 mile road, and it's a rocky rough road, but I don't care.
For life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer, you keep your head held
high, a'walking and a'talking 'til the power of Love deliver you there. The
power of Love deliver you there. The power of Love deliver you there. The power
of Love deliver you...you.... You don't get nothing for free, 'less of course
you steal it, at least that's what the people say. The sad irony of Love is how
so seldom you feel it, yet it's all you dream about, night and day. From the
splinter in the hand, to the thorn in the heart, to the shotgun to the head,
you got no choice but to learn to glean solace from pain or you'll end up
cynical or dead. Me, I got 10 miles to go on a 9 mile road and it's a rocky
rough road, but I don't care.

For life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer,

you keep your head held high, a'walking and a'talking and a'talking and
a'walking, 'til the power of Love deliver you there. The power of Love deliver
you there. The power of Love deliver you there. The power of Love deliver
you...THERE!!!Sometimes you throw yourself into the sea of faith, and the
sharks of doubt come and they devour you. Other times you throw yourself into
the sea of faith only to find the treasure lost in the shipwreck inside of you!
There ain't no guarantees, none of that nonsense like on tv, just gotta roll the
dice, and take your lumps. You're gonna get yourself knocked down, so better
learn to stand back up, for those who dwell on disaster let sorrow be their
master. Me, I got 10 miles to go on a 9 mile road and it's a rocky rough road,
but I don't care. 'Cause life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer, you
keep your head held high, a'walking and a'talking 'til the power of Love
deliver you there. The power of Love deliver you there.

The power of Love deliver you there. The power of Love deliver you there. My
buddy Phillip works as a gas station attendant. Strangers call his name to him
a thousand times a day. They don't know him, they're just asking
"Phillip" for a "fill-up". Funny how fate plays tricks on
us...that way---through the power of Love.
