You have watched the storm clouds rollPast the lighthouse and the shoreBeyond the breakers they do goWhere they´ll end up I don´t knowAnd when this weather finally breaksI wanna feel the sun upon my faceAlthough many things will changeThat is one which stays the sameAnd all the tears I’ve criedIf I can make it there, I’ll see you on the other sideAll I never learned‘Cause I'm a thousand miles from AtlantaBeneath a thousand pounds of hurtIn this desert where I sleepYou wait for rain like it´s make believeWhere I’m from, the earth she bleedsDark red clay beneath my feetAnd if I’m forced to travel onAnd end up further from my homeTo live forever here aloneWell I don´t think I´ll last this longAnd all the tears I’ve criedIf I can make it there, I’ll see you on the other sideAnd all I never learned‘Cause I'm a thousand miles from AtlantaBeneath a thousand pounds of hurtSeems this road just does not endAnd I am dead to all my friendsIf I could compromise or bendPerhaps I might be born againAnd as I wait for shooting starsOn a night that´s painful darkI fall asleep in moving carsWhen I wake up I won´t care where we areAnd all the tears I’ve criedIf I can make it there, I’ll see you on the other sideAnd all I never learned‘Cause I'm a thousand miles from AtlantaBeneath a thousand pounds of hurt
