Lyrics
- WELL I WAS BORN ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD
- A GAP IN THE HEDGE DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID
- BORN IN A HOUSE WITH NO SLATES
- BUT I WOULDN’T SWITCH I DIDN’T HAVE A STITCH
- ALWAYS BEEN OUT ON A LIMB
- I’VE BEEN HARD TO MEND LIKE A KICK IN THE SHIN
- YOU’LL ONLY SEE ME SMILE WHEN I EAT UP A COUNTRY MILE
- BORN ON THE GREENLIGHT A MISSION TO MOVE
- SOMETHING TO PROD AN ITCH IN MY SHOES
- I HEARD THE WAIL OF A TRAIN FROM A BURNIN’ STACK
- AND I JUMPED ON THE BACK
- THE ENGINEER THROUGH THE SWITCH AND IT GOT TO MY BRAIN
- I’VE NEVER BEEN THE SAME
- YOU’LL ONLY SEE ME SMILE WHEN I EAT UP A COUNTRY MILE
- GOTTA TO MAKE TRACKS, GOTTA LOSE SOME RUST
- GREASE MY HEELS, OUTRACE THE BUS
- DON’T BLINK YOUR EYES OR YOU WON’T SEE ME AGAIN
- WELL I WAS BORN A SPOKE OF THE WHEEL
- NOT PART OF A SET AND I’M RUNNING YET
- I RAN BEFORE I COULD WALK THE PRICE OF THE FARE
- WAS HARDLY EVER THERE
- SAW AN EIGHT-WHEELER MOVE
- I COULDN’T CHOOSE I JUST HAD TO CRUISE
- YOU’LL ONLY SEE ME SMILE WHEN I EAT UP A COUNTRY MILE
- WELL I WAS BORN ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD
- A GAP IN THE HEDGE DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID
- BORN IN A HOUSE WITH NO SLATES
- BUT I WOULDN’T SWITCH I DIDN’T HAVE A STITCH
- ALWAYS BEEN OUT ON A LIMB
- I’VE BEEN HARD TO MEND LIKE A KICK IN THE SHIN
- YOU’LL ONLY SEE ME SMILE WHEN I EAT UP A COUNTRY MILE
- GOTTA TO MAKE TRACKS, GOTTA LOSE SOME RUST
- GREASE MY HEELS, OUTRACE THE BUS
- DON’T BLINK YOUR EYES OR YOU WON’T SEE ME AGAIN
