it hurts to walk this gravel road
it’s hard to find and overgrown
you will see how much i'm worth
when you get passed the rocks and dirt
come on walk with me, i'm the extra mile
when you do you're gonna fall
and wonder why you walked at all
young and weary and want to stop
cause every hill takes all you got
come on walk with me, oh, i'm the extra mile
i'm that smile you give a stranger
when you'd rather turn your head
i'm that book you read your children
when you'd rather be in bed
i'm forgiveness that you give
when you don't think you can
forgive somebody one more time
at the end there's no parade
just you and me to celebrate
how far you've come by choosin' me
how you ignore those tired feet
come on walk with me, oh, i'm the extra mile
i'm that sacrifice you make for someone you don't know
i'm that teardrop for the soldier you read about at home
i'm that love you give somebody that doesn’t give it back
come on, walk with me a while, oh, i'm the extra mile
oh, i'm the extra mile, yeah
bein' more than what you see
takes all of you and one of me
come on walk with me
i'm the extra mile,
i'm the extra mile
oh, i'm the extra mile,
oh, i'm the extra mile
baby, i'm the extra mile, yeah
