One More Mile of Good

[Spoken intro] Well, the road don't promise sunshine. But it does give you somewhere to put the next foot. [Verse 1] Got my boots by the back door, Got a little daylight left. A friend waved from his pickup, Said, "You look like you need a rest." I said, "Maybe when the stars come, Right now this breeze is mighty fine. I ain't racing to the finish, I'm enjoying every mile." [Harmonica reply] [Chorus] One more mile of good, One more chance to do what I should. Say a little thank you, lend a hand, Try to leave some better footprints in the sand. Don't need a trophy where I stood, Just one more mile of good. [Verse 2] Saw a kid with a flat tire, Saw a lady lose her glove. Ain't it funny how the small things Show you what the day's made of? Helped him patch it by the roadside, Chased that mitten down the hill. No one wrote it in the papers, But it made the daylight feel real. [Chorus] One more mile of good, One more chance to do what I should. Say a little thank you, lend a hand, Try to leave some better footprints in the sand. Don't need a trophy where I stood, Just one more mile of good. [Bridge — soft shuffle] I used to ask how far is left, Now I ask who's walking near. Every road has got a story If you slow enough to hear. [Harmonica solo — jaunty] [Final chorus] One more mile of good, One more chance to do what I should. If tomorrow brings a mountain, I'll climb what I can, With a little grace and a helping hand. Don't need a trophy where I stood, Just one more mile of good. [Spoken outro] No hurry, neighbor. We'll get there. Like ninety going north!
