I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

A year and 9 in the northeast trying to tame winter's beast
And only 5 days in my summer's bed
Oh the stories that can be told
In this two door wheels tread

From Amarrillo to Winnepeg
Sleeping on egg crates, but nowhere to put my head
A twenty four hour cruise
So much time for Jason, Jimmy, Hank, and the blues

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

I've gotten checks from UPS and Williams Ski and Patio
But for all their dollars they don't know
April 1 rolls around and I get itchin
To get back on the road

From first place to last
The miles come and they pass
But I give thanks overall
To that little white ball

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

From Mississippi to the Great Lakes, to the border of Laredo
From feet on snow to the land of Lemurs
And that toothless bartender at the Royal
You can bet your ass I've seen her

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

A year and 9 in the northeast trying to tame winter's beast
And only 5 days in my summer's bed
Oh the stories that can be told
In this two door wheels tread

From Amarrillo to Winnepeg
Sleeping on egg crates, but nowhere to put my head
A twenty four hour cruise
So much time for Jason, Jimmy, Hank, and the blues

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

I've gotten checks from UPS and Williams Ski and Patio
But for all their dollars they don't know
April 1 rolls around and I get itchin
To get back on the road

From first place to last
The miles come and they pass
But I give thanks overall
To that little white ball

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles

From Mississippi to the Great Lakes, to the border of Laredo
From feet on snow to the land of Lemurs
And that toothless bartender at the Royal
You can bet your ass I've seen her

Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around
I tell you it's not the age it's the miles
