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 shins

You only see me smile when I eat up a country mile



Born on the green light, a mission to move,

Something to groove, an itch in my shoes,

I heard the wail of the train

From a burning stack and I jumped on the back

We'll the engineer threw the switch

And got to my brain, I've never been the same

You'll only see me smile when I eat up a country mile



Gotta make tracks, gotta loose some rust,

Grease my heels, I'll race to bust,

Don't blink your eye or you wont see me again



Well I was born on the spoke of a wheel,

Not part of a set and I'm runnin' yet

I ran before I could walk,

The price of the fare was hardly ever there

I saw an eighteen-wheeler move

And 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 wrong side of the 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.

I've always been out on a limb,

I've been hard to mend like a kick in the shins



Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust,

Grease my heels, I'll race to bust,

Don't blink an eye or you won't see me again
