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 [bad word] 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
