At the end of miles
You stare out at the ocean
Mountains at your back
You think you've tamedAt the end of miles you hope
Youll soon be back in motion
But you're never going back
From where you cameA little peace at last
Yes, I thought that I would stay just for a while
Now a shadow cast
Is all what's left of this wanderer's profileBut still I have survived
And I know I have arrived
Here at the end of milesI lost it all back east
I sold my El Dorado
A stranger helped me
When I was thirstiestFor some the end of miles
Is Denver Colorado
But something always
Kept me moving westI'm lately out of reach
In towns along the California shore
I'm leathery and bleached
I'm lost and I am lonesome to the coreI've got nowhere left to go
But I'm satisfied to know
Therell be miles never more
