Well it was last October, on a Tuesday night
When she said, "you and me are over if you're getting high tonight"
But he went straight down the white line and let a good thing down
It wasn't driving her crazy, it drove her right out of town

But there's a million miles to go
To where happiness lives
There's a million miles to go
To where happiness lives

He'll put his mind in detention and let his heart decide
To try and catch her attention, he's got to catch a ride
Use the last of the powder that lets him push ahead
Move at the speed of lightning and leave the miles for dead

But there's a million miles to go
To where happiness lives
