Country Mile |
| Well I was born on the side of the 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 shin. |
| 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, |
| 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, |
