Livin' Up Country

Now I'm living in the country I was working up until I fell I only went down, my ship had already sailed I met a girl out in Memphis, is was going well I thought at first She never said bye, she left when she I'd fell And if I could understand I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look out for the man When I was movin' out the country Found my lucky pardon, I was saved Couldn't get out, I found not 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 I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look up for the man And if I could understand I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look out for the man Said never look back Never have to look out for the man
