And no one gives a damn if you live or if you die
Oh, I’m walking down that line on that County Road
I got twenty-seven years till I can go
The only place I know is that County Road
I never got a chance to explain the things I did
I know I never will, they’ll just work me till I’m dead
And as long as I am here, my Lord
And no one understands and I doubt they’ll ever cry
And as long as I am here, my Lord
The hole’s too deep to climb on that ol' County Road
The only thing I know is that County Road
And as long as I am here, my Lord
Well, I’m walking down that line, that County Road
The only thing I know is that County Road
The sun don’t seem to shine on that ol' County Road
I got twenty-seven years till I can go
I got twenty-seven years till I can go
The bosses lay their weights on your back until it bleeds
They will beat you till you're blind as you stagger with the load
Running out of time on that ol' County Road
There the sun don’t seem to shine, that County Road
They will laugh and tell you how you're gonna pay for all your deeds
