Up The Country Lyrics

It's all downhill from here

So bottle up your fear

Head's on a bit unsteady

I think you'd better steer

See, I'm north country bound

Gone, but still reknowned

May not see my face no more

So keep my picture out

Once there was a youth I led

A fallacy I chased

Got so used to them somehow

But now there's criminals in mine

Leading me to distress

I'm so lost, I best not get found

No, I'm much too weak to ride

Watch these hills on glide

Mama said I'm best off dead

Lord knows how hard I've tried

And chase my skull with clouds

Made my failure loud

Heard a teardrop hit the ground

Somewhere among the crowd

Still I'm restless for the bed

My tongue no longer tastes

Oh I'm dying and lay me down

If there's someone in my steer

Let him keep my place

Not sure how I'll long I'll stick around

There's a girl who knows my name

How I wish I could explain

Just tell her that she's at my side

And at hers I can't remain

See, I've seen salvation's yard

But every highwayman's been barred

Some cheap box wine to ease my mind

One, oh one's mighty hard

But baby, babe come hold my hand

There is no time to waste

You know I think I'm sinking down

But I doubt you've heard a word I said

Or looked into my face

Yes I'll see you next time around
