Lyrics
0:08Oh country down
0:11Where I found my proving ground
0:15All along the floodline
0:19Wheels are turning around
0:23The hills roll out like centuries
0:27Pass by without a sound
0:33Just a mile outside of town
0:39Downriver bound
0:43Where the limit to your sky fell down
0:47A plot against your will
0:50Is furrowed into your brow
0:55Against your better judgment
0:58It's all behind you now
1:04Just a mile outside of town
1:12What's the use in being found
1:19When you can lose yourself
1:23in some good ground?
1:27In the weeds hiding
1:30downriver right next door
1:35There's no frame around your picture
1:38Just a view through my back door
2:14Time evermore
2:17You just found
2:19what you're looking for
2:23A tiger rose growing
2:26through your prison door
2:31Reaching for sunlight,
2:33can't see it anymore
2:39Just a mile from my back door
2:46You could wake up
2:49on a lifeboat neath the sun
2:54On a ladder up to the sky
2:57You're standing on the lowest rung
3:02Holding a lifeline,
3:05using my best defense
3:09Running in the undertow
3:13I couldn't fight against
3:17Oh lay me down
3:20Where we found my proving ground
3:24All along the floodline
3:28Waves are turning around
3:32The hills roll out like centuries
3:36Pass by without a sound
3:42Just a mile outside of town
Oh country down Where I found my proving ground All along the floodline Wheels are turning around The hills roll out like centuries Pass by without a sound Just a mile outside of town Downriver bound Where the limit to your sky fell down A plot against your will Is furrowed into your brow Against your better judgment It's all behind you now Just a mile outside of town What's the use in being found When you can lose yourself in some good ground? In the weeds hiding downriver right next door There's no frame around your picture Just a view through my back door Time evermore You just found what you're looking for A tiger rose growing through your prison door Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore Just a mile from my back door You could wake up on a lifeboat neath the sun On a ladder up to the sky You're standing on the lowest rung Holding a lifeline, using my best defense Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against Oh lay me down Where we found my proving ground All along the floodline Waves are turning around The hills roll out like centuries Pass by without a sound Just a mile outside of town
