lyrics
slim, they say, had paid his dues. he walked a thousand miles in a poor man's shoes. he walked a thousand miles in a poor man's shoes for nothing.
he kept his spine strong and arrow straight while laying low with the reprobate. it's been ten years with the reprobate and counting.
oh. a thousand miles.
in the end they say his lungs collapsed, but no one here knows even half. no, no one here knows even half the story.
he held his head far above the norm. some men are self made, but he was born. some men are self made, but he was born for glory.
oh. a thousand miles.
slim they say...
