County Road

Working out my time, on that ol' County Road

So much on my mind, that it?s ready to explode

I never got a chance to explain the things I did

I know I never will, they?ll just work me till I?m dead

I got twenty-seven years till I can go

And as long as I am here, my Lord

The only thing I know is that County Road

The sun don?t seem to shine on that ol' County Road

They will beat you till you're blind as you stagger with the load

The bosses lay their weights on your back until it bleeds

They will laugh and tell you how you're gonna pay for all your deeds

I got twenty-seven years till I can go

And as long as I am here, my Lord

The only thing I know is that County Road

Running out of time on that ol' County Road

The hole?s too deep to climb on that ol' County Road

And no one gives a damn if you live or if you die

And no one understands and I doubt they?ll ever cry

I got twenty-seven years till I can go

And as long as I am here, my Lord

The only place I know is that County Road

Well, I?m walking down that line, that County Road

There the sun don?t seem to shine, that County Road

Oh, I?m walking down that line on that County Road

The sun don?t seem to shine on that County Road
