Rory Gallagher...
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
