Текст Drive-By Truckers — The Distance:

Standing in the trenches
And swinging for the fences
Locked on and clocked in
I ain’t coming to my senses
From religion or expenses
Or the runs that I ain’t knocked in

I’ll take the best you have to offer
And improvise the rest
Then do it again tomorrow
Keep your hands out of the coffers
And always do your best
And we’ll probably let you follow

We got three hours till daylight
Locked and loaded for the drive

You gotta know who you can trust
And whose ass you should bust
When it’s hard to tell the difference
When to put it to the test
When to lead with the left
What it takes to go the distance

What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
Determination and persistence
When the first punch has been thrown

Our forefathers used to brave
The mighty ocean’s wave
For the things that were denied them
Sailed far away from home
Without cellular phone
While the dragons swam beside them

They built cities shore to shore
For their grandsons to explore
With just the Northern Star to guide them
Traveled all across this land
In our Econoline van
And did our best to stand beside them

Passing out at the party
And waking up alone
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home

What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
