Country Mile Lyrics

Country Mile lyrics

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 only see me smile when I
eat up a country mile 



Born on the green light, a mission to move,


Something to groove, an itch in my shoes, 

I heard the wail of the
train 

From a burning stack and I jumped on the back 

We'll the
engineer threw the switch 

And 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 loose some rust, 

Grease my heels, I'll race
to bust, 

Don't blink your eye or you wont see me again 



Well I was born on the spoke of a wheel, 

Not part of a set and I'm
runnin' yet 

I ran before I could walk, 

The price of the fare was
hardly ever there 

I saw an eighteen-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 wrong 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 shins 



Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust, 

Grease my heels, I'll
race to bust, 

Don't blink an eye or you won't see me again
