Lyrics
MILE ZERO
(c) 2008 by Larry O'Connell & Dawn O’Connell
My heads a mess and I’m on the brink
People say I need to see a shrink
But I reckon there’s a better way
Found a broke down Harley for sale
And I thought, 'It looks the way I feel'
The owner says, 'I’ll trade you for your wheels'
As I pushed it on down the street
I had a plan occur to me
Gonna fix that bike and head for the Florida Keys
CHORUS
Mile Zero by the time I get to you
I hope to have it all figured out
Yeah that’s what I aim to do
Mile Zero sun setting on the right
You’re like a reset button on Highway 1
Couldn’t ask for a better sight
All week long as I did the grind
That Harley bike was on my mind
Couldn’t wait to get it on the road
So pulling wrenches instead of sleep
Hit the road come Labor Day Week
Didn’t stop ‘til I reached F.L.A.
CHORUS
When I reached that turquoise sea
My old life was history
Never before have I felt this free
At sunrise saw that zero sign
Hopped off and took a look at my bike
Thought to myself, 'Best therapy money can buy'
CHORUS (modified)
MIle zero by the time I'm back to you
I know I'll have it all figured out
Yeah that's what I aim to do
Mile zero sun setting on the right
You're like a reset button on Highway 1
Couldn't ask for a better sight
CHORUS (modified)
Mile zero gonna keep on riding strong
The black tops calling out my name
And I know where I belong
Mile zero sun rising on the right
Gonna get a tattoo across my back says 'Live Free or Die!'
Mile zero, mile zero, mile zero
