Ron Sexsmith - Country Mile Lyrics

I have an image of a place somewhere
Of spacious blues and grace to spare
In my heart I’d love to take you there
T’would make me smile
And we’ll gather forever in a country mile

This city living getting worse with time
Though first you try to rehearse your lines
Till all at once it’s like a nursery rhyme
It wakes the child
Makes you gather forever in a country mile
As we travel together down a country mile

We could sit on the fence
Until the cows come home
But the world’s just passing us by
Doin’ our scarecrow dance
Beneath the great unknown
All I’m asking is why?

As we travel together down a country mile

We could sit on the fence
Until the cows come home
But life’s just passing us by
Doin’ our scarecrow dance
Beneath the great unknown
All I’m asking is why?

I have a vision of us, windows down
The radio blasting all our sins around
As from within I’ve heard that lonesome sound
From where the flowers grow wild
I can feel love growing for a country mile
As we travel together down a country mile
We will gather forever in a country mile
