[Verse 1]
I've been all the way around the world, there and back a time or two
I've been all the way around the world, there and back a time or two
That road leads me home, brings me back to the blues

[Chorus]
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
Miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
Still winking at hard times, smiling at the pouring rain

[Verse 2]
I've seen a thousand city lights, from Austin to Saskatoon
Seen a thousand city lights, from Austin to Saskatoon
I've seen the shouting from the aisles, howling at the shining moon

[Chorus]
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane

[Post-Chorus]
I'm thе kind of man that takes a lump or two
Tilt your world back, now you have a clue
Try to gеt one over, I got news for you
When you poke the bear, you're bound to lose

[Chorus]
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
Got some miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
I'm still winking at hard times, smiling at the pouring rain
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I may be no angel, I'll sure be the devil for you
May be no angel, I'll sure be the devil for you
Yeah, that road might not lead me home, yeah, there's not a damn thing you can do

[Chorus]
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane

[Post-Chorus]
I'm the kind of man that takes a lump or two
Tilt your world back, now you have a clue
Try to get one over, I got news for you
When you poke the bear, you're bound to lose

[Chorus]
I got miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
Miles under my wheels, notches in my walking cane
I'm still winking at hard times, smiling at the pouring rain
