The Last Mile

Mmm, yeah

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 you're 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

(It'll be awhile) Before I get my peace

(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

Monkey's 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

Sometime you do and then you don't

I guess I've always been a travelin' man

'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand

And walk the (Last mile) before I sleep

(It'll be awhile) Before I get my peace

(The same style) I walked for years

(On the last mile) I can rest my fears

Don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been

Look around me, everybody's trying to win, win

On the last mile

On the last mile

I guess I've always been a travelin' man

'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand

Yeah, yeah

And walk the (Last mile) before I sleep

(It'll be awhile) Before I get my peace

(The same style) I walked for years

(On the last mile) I can rest my fears

(The last mile) Before I sleep

(It'll be awhile) Before I get my peace

(The same style) I walked for years

(On the last mile) I can rest my fears

(The last mile) Before I sleep

(It'll be awhile) Before I get my peace

(The same style) I walked for years

(On the last mile) I can rest my fears
