lyrics
I woke up this morning with the paper by my side,
I was staring at the headline; another friend gone by.
I said baby don’t you weep.
I've got miles to go before I'll sleep.
Everybody keeps looking up to me.
I’m no hero. I never tried to be.
There’s appointments left to keep
and miles to go before I sleep.
I got a telephone call to settle up a debt.
It was old Saint Peter. He said, “I think it’s time we met.”
I said baby don’t you weep.
I've got miles to go before I'll sleep.
