Country Mile Lyrics

Country Mile lyrics

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, 

 I 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 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, 

 I've 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. 

  

 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. 

  

 Yea
