Kevn Kinney - A Good Country Mile lyrics
rate meThey're bouncing off the walls, heated in the streets
Take it for granted and then some
Well it's safe to assume that there ain't enough room
If everyone wants to get near.
There's a deafening silence when everything stops
To find its own promise and balance.
Well it's safe to assume that there ain't enough room
If everyone wants to get near.
I said “Where do you go when you close your eyes?”
I said “Where you go when you dream?”
I see a white picket fence, and a house on a hill
And from there I can see the lights
Chorus:
I know I'm just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
I'm just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
I'm just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
He saved all his life cutting hair in a shop
He's kept this town trimmed and advised
He's watched this all grow from candlelit roads
To rocket ships up in the sky.
His brother went to college and he lives in DC
He's got a wife, and a two car garage
When I go visit they thing the same songs
What's with that old broken down town
Well, I know they know I love it
And I know they understand
What in the world keeps me there
Well there's laughing and singing and "how-do-you-do's"
There's dancing and simple Psalm suites
When this town cries, we all cry together
When the sky's dark, we all sleep
So you take a left turn on old 29
And you stay on there a good while
Till you see a white picket fence and a house on the hill
'Cause from there you can see the lights.
CHORUS:
You know you're just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
You know you're just outside Heaven
About a good country mile.
(musical interlude)
I lay on the pavement, my back is so cold
There's talking and flashing and thieves in the night
About how all this happened, that you've never seen worse
As I faded in and out of existence.
And when I awoke, she looked down on me
With some tears, and some smiles, and some panic
Well she say I lay dead for a minute or two
When I never thought that I left.
She said "Where did you go when you closed your eyes?"
She said "Where did you go when you died?"
Well the waves were crashing up on these walls
And I was blessed in a mist
And I felt the comfort so safe and warm
As if I'd just been kissed!
I saw a white picket fence, and this house on a hill
And from there I could see the lights!
Chorus:
I was just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
I was just outside of Heaven
About a good country mile.
(repeat to close)
