    "No matter what the odometer says, High Mileage runs like a dream"   Elmore Magazine

    "Pharis’ weathered, fraying vocal compares the automotive hulk to his own biological shell. He concludes that both may be battered but they’ll get the job done, an attitude that serves as the theme for this set of originals and country blues and gospel covers.

    Pharis does more than accept human frailties here; he cherishes them with infectious good humor." Acoustic Guitar Magazine November 2018

lyrics

High Mileage

I'm high mileage but I'm not done just yet
more old pickup truck not new corvette
it's hard to get me cranked up in the morning
but once I start I just keep running
I roll a little crooked down the road
but just stand back and watch me go
high mileage but I'm not done just yet

high mileage but I'm not done yet
some dents and dings but not a total wreck
my paint is peeling and there's a little rust
it looks like my tires are about to bust
you can count on me to run when times are the worst
won't break down and leave you in the lurch


I'm high mileage but I'm not done just yet
i'll still get you there, baby don't you fret
it may seem like my parts all working
but a little tlc will get me running
my headlights aren't always real bright
but they'll see you through a cold dark night

I'm high mileage but I'm not done just yet
more old pickup truck not new corvette
been years since I've had that new car smell
but what I am today suits me just as well
someday I'll end up in the junkyard
but until then I'm going to run real hard
high mileage but I'm not done just yet
