The Extra Mile

V1.

Chasing dreams can feel extreme

When you’re faced with slamming doors

Two steps forward and three steps back

And I’m still here wanting more

I started this with nothing

Now I’m rolling in with less

But friends outnumber strangers

Along the road to my success.

Chorus

Can’t give up on this dream

Just ‘cuz it’s more work than I thought

There’s a better way to chase it.

It’s called giving all you’ve got

I’ll go over and above

Kill them with kindness and a smile

There’s never any traffic

When you go the extra mile

V2.

I’ll knock on any door there is

Tap on some windows too

And there might miles of dues to pay

Before I’m close to breaking through

The tollway running to the top

Might be the straightest route

But the extra mile is a winding road

And I ain’t backing out

Chorus

Can’t give up on this dream

Just ‘cuz it’s more work than I thought

There’s a better way to chase it.

It’s called giving all you’ve got

I’ll go over and above

Kill them with kindness and a smile

There’s never any traffic

When you go the extra mile

Bridge

Everyone seems like they’re on the fast track

Where I wish that I could be.

But I guess the winding extra mile

Is the destined route for me.

Chorus

Can’t give up on this dream

Just ‘cuz it’s more work than I thought

There’s a better way to chase it.

It’s called giving all you’ve got

I’ll go over and above

Kill them with kindness and a smile

There’s never any traffic

When you go the extra mile
