Mile 52 Blues

Well, a hundred miles is a long, long ride
A hundred miles is a long long ride
Ain’t no place that you can hide.
A hundred miles is a long long ride

Yeah but I’m ridin’ in the sun,
I’m just ridin’ in the sun.
I’m passin’ mile 21
I’m just ridin’, ridin’ ridin’ in the sun.

Well there’s so much that you can see
There’s so much you can see
At mile 33…
There’s so much, so much so much that you can see.

I’m just glad that I’m alive,
I’m just glad I’m alive.
Here at mile 45
I’m just glad that I’m alive, alive, alive…

Yeah, yeah… I’m at mile 45…

(instrumental)

Now’s the time to get the blues…
Now’s the time to get the blues,
Just at mile 52, yeah,
Now’s the time, the time, the time to get the blues

Here at mile 52
Here at mile 52
Now’s the time now’s the time to get the blues
Here at mile 52
Mile 52
Mile 52
Get the blues…
Mile 52
52…

Now now watcha gonna do?
Here at 52 I got the blues
Mile 52…
Watcha gonna do? (long fade)
