Sixty thousand miles, and faces I can’t count

My car is nearly dead now, but don’t count me out

Deadlines are looming, I haven’t been home in months

A quiet night in is just a dream but I can’t sit this one out

If you think that this is going nowhere, then I have to say you’re wrong

And I have to say you’re wrong, and I have to say

When record sales mean more than friends and faces, then I have to say you’re wrong

And I have to say you’re wrong, and I have to say

The drive today is gonna take five hours, the room will be half empty

But if I play these songs and raise a smile, it’s worth every minute

This is not a trend, this is not a joke, I’m singing ‘cause I mean it

If you give me half a chance then maybe you will see it

You may have won the battle but you will not win the war

If you stop for just a minute then I’ll show you what I’m fighting for

This is not a trend or a joke, I’m singing ‘cause I mean it

If you give me half a chance then maybe you will see it
