Lyrics

[00:08.69] Oh country down
[00:11.85] Where I found my proving ground
[00:16.07] All along the floodline
[00:19.93] Wheels are turning around
[00:23.88] The hills roll out like centuries
[00:27.71] Pass by without a sound
[00:32.44] Just a mile outside of town
[00:39.71] Downriverbound
[00:43.46]Where the [?] sky fell down
[00:47.59] A plot against your will
[00:51.14] Is furrowed into your brow
[00:55.44] Against your better judgment
[00:59.40] It's all behind you now
[01:05.09] Just a mile outside of town
[01:12.56] What's the use of being found?
[01:20.29] You can lose yourself ? underground
[01:27.25] In the weeds hiding down river right next door
[01:35.35] There's no frame around your picture
[01:38.34] Just a view through my back door
[02:14.38] Time evermore
[02:17.99] You just found what you're looking for
[02:22.15] A tiger rose growing through your prison door
[02:30.20] Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore
[02:38.05] Just a mile from my back door
[02:47.21] You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
[02:54.31] On a ladder up to the sky
[02:57.79] You're standing on the lowest rung
[03:02.25] Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
[03:09.95] Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
[03:17.46] Oh lay me down
[03:20.82] Where we found my proving ground
[03:25.13] All along the floodline
[03:29.16] Waves are turning around
[03:32.90] The hills roll out like centuries
[03:36.63] Pass by without a sound
[03:40.64] Just a mile outside of town
