1000 Miles Lyrics

Jesus told me to leave gravity behind

and He said to burn the stars out of my eyes

He said dissolve into asphalt and white lines

and give them nothing they can turn into a lie

Jesus said there was no home I was welcome in to;

just sad lonely places where I'll pay and pay

Jesus gave me this motel television

to burn all my hopes and dreams clean away



And He said, "drive a thousand miles

drive another thousand miles

'cause you - you have no other home"



Jesus gave me a spoonful of sugar

yeah, and a million saints who pray and pray

for a silence that rings like a hammer

all for the likes of you and me to go away



And He said, "drive a thousand miles

drive another thousand miles

'cause you - you have no other home.

You - you have no other home."



Now Jesus told me to leave gravity behind

and He said to burn the stars out of my eyes

and He said give 'em nothing they can turn into a lie

and give 'em nothing they can turn into a lie

give 'em nothing
