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
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
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 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

I guess I’ve always been a travelin’ man
Cause when I’m movin’ I can make a stand yea yea

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...
