Livin' Up Country

For 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, it was going well I thought at first She never said bye, she left when she'd knew I'd fail

And if I could understand My body'd get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man

But now I'm moving out the country Found my lucky pardon, I was saved Couldn't get out, I found no 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 My body'd get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man

And if I could understand My body'd get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand I'd never look back Never have to look out for the man Said never look back Never have to look out for the man
