The Last Few Miles (On My Knees)
================================
w&m: Bob Willis and Jimmie Davis, 1980

[Verse 1]
I once was young, I could run the fields all day long;
I never, ever tired back then it seems.
But something's surely wrong,
Lord help me to travel on,
the last few miles I've traveled on my knees.

[Refrain]
Lord, I've traveled the last few miles on my knees,
More and more I'm spending time there it seems.
Summer's come and gone, winter's coming on,
the last few miles I've traveled on my knees.

[Verse 2]
The multitudes they came when they heard about His name;
He touched them, and His touch set them free.
But in Gethsemane
He prayed, "Take this cup from me."
The last few miles He traveled on His knees.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Oh, please don't criticize when you see me passing by;
someday you, too, will be just like me.
When the spring of youth is gone,
winter's coming on,
you, too, will have to travel on your knees.

[Refrain]
