The Extra Mile Lyrics

Emerson Drive The Extra Mile

Songwriters: Baker, Bonnie; Sikes, Paul

It hurts to walk this gravel road
It's hard to find and overgorwn
You will see how much I'm worth
When you get past the rocks and dirt

C'mon, walk with me
I'm the extra mile

When you do, you're gonna fall
And wonder why you walked at all
Young and weary, you'll wanna stop
'Cause every hill takes all you got

C'mon, walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile

And that smile you give a stranger
When you'd rather turn your head
And that book you read to your children
When you'd rather be in bed
I'm forgiveness that you give
When you don't think you can
Forgive somebody one more time

At the end, there's no parade
Just you and me to celebrate
How far you've come by choosin' me
How you ignore those tired feet

C'mon, walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile

I'm that sacrifice you make
For someone you don't know
I'm that teardrop for a soldier
You've read about at home
I'm that love you give somebody
Who doesn't give it back

C'mon, walk with me awhile
Oh, I'm the extra mile

Oh, I'm the extra mile

Yeah

Being more than what you see
Takes all of you and one of me

C'mon, walk with me
I'm the extra mile

I'm the extra mile

Oh, I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Baby, I'm the extra mile
Yeah
