The Last Mile

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Mm, 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 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 tryin' to win

(Walk the last mile)
(Walk 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

(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

(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
