LAST MILE

Me and billy boy and old lady jane We hitched a ride, took a fast movin train Got to the top with our heads spinnin round You never know just what you got until youre comin back Down on the farmland mississippi shade The folks down there they told me take it day by day And walk the last mile Before I sleep Itll be a while Before I get my peace With the same style I walked for years On the last mile I can rest my fears I got a long way to go before I reach the light of day Monkies on my back I gotta find a better way Same old story never get just what you want The more you got the more you want Sometimes you do and then you dont I guess Ive always been a travelin man Cause when Im movin I can make a stand And walk the last mile Before I sleep Itll be a while Before I get my peace With the same style I walked for years On the last mile I can rest my fears Dont know where Im going But I know where Ive been Look around me everybodys trying to win I guess Ive always been a travelin man Cause when Im movin I can make a stand yea yea And walk the last mile Before I sleep Itll be a while Before I get my peace With the same style I walked for years On the last mile I can rest my fears The last mile Before I sleep Itll be a while Before I get my peace With the same style I walked for years On the last mile I can rest my fears The last mile Before I sleep Itll be a while Before I get my peace With the same style I walked for years On the last mile I can rest my fears
