Mile Twelve - Where We Started Lyrics

VERSE 1
East of Maddox near the NatchezJust this side of 203Just like daddy I'm a seerI still wonder if the shine will get a hold of me

That old Ford behind the buildingHe gave me that one for a gunShe's a beaut you best believe itWe'll go 90 mile an hour if we can make it run

CHORUS 1
We're in the same old place where we startedIn that same old town in TennesseeIs this what it's about, no light for a way out
We're miles and miles from what we ought to be

VERSE 2
Got the job down on the highwayIt's twelve an hour and overtimeAnd one more reason now to keep itThat new girl at the diner she been looking fine

CHORUS 2
She's in the same old place where we startedIn that same old town in TennesseeIs this what it's about, no light for a way out
We're miles and miles from what we ought to be

VERSE 3
I guess I've gotta keep believingMe and the boys we're gonna work it outIt's Friday night and talk is cheaperDown here the dreams are stronger than the doubts

CHORUS 3
We're in the same old place where we startedIn that same old town in TennesseeIs this what it's about, no light for a way out
We're miles and miles from what we ought to be
