Just Another Mile Or Two (Bluegrass Version)

Just a kid when I left home
got my education on the road
New York City to L.A.
not a honky tonk I hadn’t played
I never looked back down the roads I’d been
my future’s calling up around the bend

and I would sing going home,
going back to my roots
going home, going home
just another mile or two

it’s a rocky road that I’d been down
searching for that high n’ lonesome sound
my old guitar’s best friend I got
makes a little money sometimes a lot
it never lets me down and carried me far
it’s been by my side while I followed my star
and I would sing going home,
going back to my roots
going home, going home
just another mile or two

never landed no where I stayed long
just showed up with my traveling songs
I passed the hat and paid some dues
been to Memphis and sang the blues
jazz in New Orleans Country in Nashville
to the hills of Kentucky with old father Bill

had a girl in Mississippi but she broke my heart in Tennessee
a dinosaur troubadour
singing for his supper and a pallet on the floor
I’ve seen them come and go but I’m still plying my trade
no fame or fortune just another stage
