Take it back, I never meant it
Never thought it would come to pass
Baby know it's not forgotten baby
Know that this is gonna last

By and large I had it coming
I recall the tremble in your eyes
I just want to make it better
I just want to make it right

Driven on the last mile home, driven on the last mile home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm driving on the last mile home

Tell me that the bar is drinking,
And the lights are swinging in the smoke
I'm a fool for conversation,
And I've got nowhere to go

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the last mile home
Things are always better when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Driven on the last mile home
Dreaming on the last mile home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Baby I'm the one who's broken
Maybe I'm the breaker of the hearts
Been so lone since we've spoken
It's been lonely baby its been hard

    I thought it was dreaming until I read the lyrics via you tube and it says "tripping the last mile home". THEN I read it's "driving"!!!! I'm going with "dreaming" PERIOD!! HEY, someone needs to get this straight being all those different words bring many different meanings. Such a soulful song to be in question is a sin!!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
