Am
Watch that crow as he flies
Am
See my struggle in his eyes
Am
You don't want me, yes I know
                    Em    Am
Five more miles for me to go

[Verse 2]

Am
There's two trains running, leave this town
Am
The sun comes up, I'm going down

Keep saying I'm free but I just don't know
          G                Am
Five more miles for me to go
          G             Am
Five more miles for me to go.

[instrumental Break]
 D      Am

[Chorus 1]

C                  Am       A
I'm gonna tell you what
         E    Am
On this road that's filled up with sorrow
C          A        Am
I'm gonna tell you what
      Em     Am
Ain't never enough

[Verse 3]

Am
Call me Joe Christmas, that's my name
Am
I got this river running through my veins

That light in August, it sure do glow
          G               Am
Five more miles for me to go


[Chorus 2]
Am
I know this life, it sure is hard
Am
All I can do is play my cards
Am
Keep saying I'm free but I just don't know
          G               Am
Five more miles for me to go
           G              Am   
Five more miles for me to go
