Livin' Up Country

When I were living in the country I were working up until I fell I only went down My ship had already sailed I met a girl out in Memphis It was going well, I thought at first She never said bye She left when she knew I'd fail And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man When I were moving out the country Thought my luck came by and I was saved Couldn't get out I found no check in the mail So I went up to Nashville It was going well, but then went stale I couldn't get by Lucky to live to tell the tale And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man Said never look back Never have to look out for the man
