5 More Miles - Charley Crockett

Watch that crow as he flies

See my struggle in his eyes

You don’t want me, yes I know

Five more miles for me to go

There’s two trains running, leave this town

The sun comes up, I’m going down

Keep saying I’m free but I just don’t know

Five more miles for me to go

Five more miles for me to go

I’m gonna tell you what

On this road that’s filled up with sorrow

I’m gonna tell you what

Ain’t never enough

Call me Joe Christmas, that’s my name

I got this river running through my veins

That light in August, it sure do glow

Five more miles for me to go

I know this life, it sure is hard

All I can do is play my cards

Keep saying I’m free but I just don’t know

Five more miles for me to go

Five more miles for me to go
