Lyrics

Started out in birmingham
With jim beam in a pepsi can
Just to help me cut the pain
Spent the night in mobile
Sleepin' on the steerin' wheel
Woke up with the sun callin' your name

And I got miles of heartache yet to go
Never knew forgettin' you would go so slow
The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road
And I got miles of heartache yet to go

Headed down to new orleans
Fell into a cajun dream
Damned if I recall her name
Burned it up on bourbon street
Woke up standin' on my feet
Headed out that morning in the rain

And I got miles of heartache yet to go
I never knew forgettin' you would go so slow
The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road
And I got miles of heartache yet to go

Drifted down to mexico
And figured I'd just lay low
Saturday night they threw me into jail
Blew my last twenty-five
In some old tiajuana dive
Ain't got no dinero for my bail

And I got.....

Instrumental break

Tomorrow they will set me free
But free is what I'll never be
Long as memories remain
New orleans or mexico
It don't matter where I go
Your love is like a ball and chain

And I got miles of heartache yet to go
I never knew forgettin' you would go so slow
The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road
And I've got miles of heartache yet to go

Yes, I've got miles of heartache yet to go
