100,000 Miles*
2
I need a reason to get up before
3
I wash my face
4
The junkies, the Hookers, the dealers the place
5
Kickin' off my covers trippin' off the fact
6
That I haven't called my gramma in a long, long time
7
Standin in the shower for almost half an hour
8
Tryin' to wake up and I'm lookin for the power
9
Reachin' for the towel with soap in my eyes
10
Dryin' off my shoulders, my chest, and my thighs
11
The next thing I know the telephone rings
12
I hear my own voice on the answering machine
13
Please leave a message I'm glad ya called
14
I listen for a voice but there's nothin' at all
15
Man oh Man
16
I gotta kick the blues
17
And pay respect where respect is due
18
All praises to GOD the one I return to
19
The one I can turn to
20
When I'm feelin burned to the bone
21
[Chorus:]
22
Early in the morn before I wash my face
23
A hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
24
At six in the morning she rolled
25
Outa bed
26
Stared out the window and then she said
27
That I wasn't her type...
28
I think she's runnin outa types though...and I told her so.
29
She picked up her things and walked through the door
30
And then said that she couldn't see me no more
31
Just as she was leaving I asked her if she'd call
32
She didn't look back said nuttin at all
33
I didn't change my clothes because they smell like you
34
And when I took a shower it reminded me of you
35
I called Gramma Brown for advice
36
It happened to me once it happened to me twice
37
Michael my son you sound really bugged
38
I wish that you were here so I could to you give
39
A hug then she gave me a long, long talk
40
She said "you have the patience of ice on a sidewalk"
41
When things get rough don't sweat it
42
Sometimes in life you just have to let it
43
And sing out a song so strong
44
That even a bad dream couldn't bring harm
45
To the mind of a young childs battles
46
Formed from the candle light shadows
47
Her voice is like a whispering kiss on the forehead
48
[Chorus]
49
Early in the morn before I wash my face
50
The bedisstill warmbut there's an empty space
51
Early in the mornin beforeIwashmy face
52
A hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
53
In the last thirty minutes before
54
I fall asleep
55
When I have said my prayers and I have brushed my teeth
56
This is the time when I am forced to think about
57
All of the things I been tryin to forget about
58
The Bills, the phone, cleanin up my room
59
The cars, the traffic, the speakers and the boom
60
Alone I remember the times with me and you
61
And I realize my heart is shakin' up the room
62
Gramma she would tell us about the glory days
63
And gramma she would tell us about when we were slaves
64
In the livin' room pianos outa tune
65
On top of it the pictures of every bride and groom
66
Child/ grand child lost child
67
Every single tear shed every single smile
68
'cause everybodies got alota shit to deal with
69
And life doesn't stop it just makes ya feel it
70
So shake the dust offa your feet
71
Take a step forward liberate with the beat
72
So for you I wrote this song
73
I wanted you to hear it before you are gone.
74
The African in me the Seminole in me
75
These are some a things my grandmother gave
76
To me some believe there are and some believe there
77
Ain't if ever there was one my gramma Brown she is a saint
78
[Chorus]
79
Early in the morn before I wash my face
80
The bed isstill warmbut there'san empty space
81
Earlyin themornin before I wash my face
82
A hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
