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 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 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 The last mile 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 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 The last mile It'll be a while
