| Watch that crow as he flies
|
| See my struggle in his eyes
|
| You don’t want me, yes I know
|
| Five more miles for me to go
|
| There’s two trains running, leave this town
|
| The sun comes up, I’m going down
|
| Keep saying I’m free but I just don’t know
|
| Five more miles for me to go
|
| Five more miles for me to go
|
| I’m gonna tell you what
|
| On this road that’s filled up with sorrow
|
| I’m gonna tell you what
|
| Ain’t never enough
|
| Call me Joe Christmas, that’s my name
|
| I got this river running through my veins
|
| That light in August, it sure do glow
|
| Five more miles for me to go
|
| I know this life, it sure is hard
|
| All I can do is play my cards
|
| Keep saying I’m free but I just don’t know
|
| Five more miles for me to go
|
| Five more miles for me to go |
