Country Mile

歌詞

Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move Something to prove, an itch in my shoes I heard then wail of a train From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back Well the engineer threw the switch And it got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again Born a spoke of the wheel Not a part of the set and I'm running yet I ran before I could walk The price of the fare was hardly ever there Saw an eight wheeler move And I couldn't choose I just had to cruise You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again
