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 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
