I drag my feet through the mud

Put in the sweat and the blood

I think about how I'm farther than my father ever was

The air just keeps gettin' thinner

I haven't been home for dinner in a while

To see that smile, but I'm trying

And I'm closer, closer than I've ever been

But I'm further away than I wish

I know the last mile is the hardest

'Cause you don't know where it ends

Sometimes, it takes a little longer

Walking on never-ending stairs

Just follow the path until you're there

Remember the last mile is the hardest

Still far away, but I'm getting there

I see my breath in the cold

I feel the cracks in the mold

I think by losing my purpose

In the first steps that I miss

Not chasing anything gold

Just something harder to hold

I've got my eye on tomorrow

Where that takes me, I don't know

But I'm closer, closer than I've ever been

Still, I'm further away than I wish

I know the last mile is the hardest

'Cause you don't know where it ends

Sometimes, it takes a little longer

Walking on never-ending stairs

Just follow the path until you're there

Remember the last mile is the hardest

Still far away, but I'm getting there

Just follow the path until you're there

Remember the last mile is the hardest

Still far away, but I'm getting there
