Working out my time, on that ol' County Road So much on my mind, that it's ready to explode I never got a chance to explain the things I did I know I never will, they'll just work me till I'm dead I got twenty-seven years till I can go And as long as I am here, my Lord The only thing I know is that County Road The sun don't seem to shine on that ol' County Road They will beat you till you're blind as you stagger with the load The bosses lay their weights on your back until it bleeds They will laugh and tell you how you're gonna pay for all your deeds I got twenty-seven years till I can go And as long as I am here, my Lord The only thing I know is that County Road Running out of time on that ol' County Road The hole's too deep to climb on that ol' County Road And no one gives a damn if you live or if you die And no one understands and I doubt they'll ever cry I got twenty-seven years till I can go And as long as I am here, my Lord The only place I know is that County Road Well, I'm walking down that line, that County Road There the sun don't seem to shine, that County Road Oh, I'm walking down that line on that County Road The sun don't seem to shine on that County Road
