This is a recording of "The Tom Picker Band" featuring Quasi, the other guitarist in my band. It's about one man's lonely plan to finance his own funeral. Thanks to Tom for the use of his song. Smoke'm if you've got'm!

I'm smoking like a fiend to get the miles off a pack
The company gets richer all I do is hack
I wish I never started but now I'm really hooked
Addictions hard to feed especially when your lungs are cooked

I guess its all a scheme to keep the population down
It's all for the money and it's getting spread around
Pardon me a minute; I'm coughing up a lung
It's getting hard to breath so I'm calling Connie Chung

Cause I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Doing all I can to keep a yellow smile
I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Hope you understand; I'm going out in style

So I'm saving all my miles gonna trade em for a lung
A custom coffin and a CD by Neil Young
I don't need no gear cause I cant get up the hill
I don't need a bike but you can pay my funeral bill

Cause I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Doing all I can to keep a yellow smile
I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Hope you understand; I'm going out in style

Cause I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Doing all I can to keep a yellow smile
I'm the Miles Man; I'm saving all my miles
Hope you understand; I'm going out in style
