Country Down

Intro:           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   Downriverbound   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                    (2x)                                            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
