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 it's comin' back
Down on the farm in the 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 awhile (before I get my peace) Last Mile (I walk slowly) The last mile (I can rest my feet)
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 ole story never get just what you want The more you get the more you want so tell me to and get picked up I guess I've always been a traveling man 'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand yeah, yeah
And walk the last mile (before I sleep) It'll be awhile (before I get my peace) Last Mile (I walk slowly) The last mile (I can rest my feet)
Don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been Look around me everybody's trying to win
And walk the last mile (before I sleep) It'll be awhile (before I get my peace) Last Mile (I walk slowly) The last mile (I can rest my feet)
