Grounded in the Mire

from Window Shopping in Nashville by John Jenkins

lyrics

Grounded in the Mire
I was kidnapped when I was 3
Sure made a man of me
Held in the evergreen’s
A long way from home
My daddy paid the ransom
But he thought he got the wrong son
Not quite the same one
As he had before

Chorus 1
And the wheels feel heavy
Grounded in the mire
And it takes a lot more than a spark to cause a fire
And the roads are rolling
The highways look so tired
And sometimes I wish I could just hide

Well I never was an honest man
That’s why I work for the government
On the payroll of Uncle Sam
Guess I’ve sold my sold
Instrumental verse –

Chorus 2
And the wheels feel heavy
Grounded in the mire
And it’ll take more than a few drinks to feel inspired
And the roads maybe rolling
But they’ve lost their desire
And sometimes I just wish I never even tried - Repeat Verse 1
