Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's sixteen miles to the promise land
And I promise you I'm doing the best I can
Now don't fool yourself
In thinking you're more than a man
'Cause you'll probably end up dead
[Verse 2]
I visit these mountains with frequency
And I stand here with my arms up
Now some days, they last longer than others
But this day by the lake went too fast
[Verse 3]
And if you want me
You better speak up, I won't wait
So you better move fast
[Verse 4]
Don't fool yourself
In thinking you're more than you are
With your arms out stretched to me
[Verse 5]
Now it's sixteen miles to the promise land
And I promise you I'm doing the best I can
Now some days, they last longer than others
But this day by the lake went too fast
[Verse 6]
And if you want me
You better speak up, I won't wait
So you better move fast
[Verse 7]
And some days they last longer than others
But this day by the lake went too fast
And if you want me
You better speak up, I won't wait
So you better move fast
