Intro: Verso 1: It's sixteen miles to the promised land And I promise you I'm doing the best I can Now don't fool yourself In thinking you're more than a man Cause you'll probably end up dead I visit these Mountains with frequency And I stand here with my arms up Now somedays they'll last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up I won't wait So you better move fast Verso 2: Don't fool yourself In thinking you're more than you are With your arms outstretched to me Now its 16 miles to the promised land And I promise you I'm doing the best I can Now somedays they'll last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up I won't wait So you better move fast Now somedays they'll last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up I won't wait So you better move fast
