10 Miles
Jimmie's Chicken Shack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who'll deny desire
I want to feel what your feeling
Yeah I hope I'm ready
Pacing out the words
I want you to feel what I'm feeling
Though we're not the same
In these eyes, wide,
Your reflection penetrates
The depth of my spirit still
Though its not very far
I just can't escape from the




Feeling that I
Run ten miles a day
