COUNTRY MILE
Rory Gallagher
Well, I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge, did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates, But I wouldn't switch, I didn't have a stitch. Always been out on a limb, I've been hard to mend like a kick in the shins You only see me smile when I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move, Something to groove, an itch in my shoes, I heard the wail of the train From a burning stack and I jumped on the back We'll the engineer threw the switch And got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile when I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta loose some rust, Grease my heels, I'll race to bust, Don't blink your eye or you wont see me again Well I was born on the spoke of a wheel, Not part of a set and I'm runnin' yet I ran before I could walk, The price of the fare was hardly ever there I saw an eighteen-wheeler move And I couldn't choose, I just had to cruise, You'll only see me smile when I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the wrong side of the road, A gap in the hedge, did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch, I didn't have a stitch. I've always been out on a limb, I've been hard to mend like a kick in the shins Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust, Grease my heels, I'll race to bust, Don't blink an eye or you won't see me againblues blues rock bluesrock Guitar Hero rock singer-songwriter
