The 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 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 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 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 a while

Before i get my peace

With 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



I guess i've always been a travelin' man

Cause when i'm movin' i can make a stand yea yea



And walk the last mile

Before i sleep

It'll 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

It'll 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

It'll 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
