"5 More Miles" lyrics - 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
