David Kersh - Louisiana Country Mile Lyrics
(mark alan springer/jerry laseter)Your teacher mightve told you it was five thousand something feetThat aint to far in a car or on a city streetLet me tell you son, back where I come fromYou learn as a little childThere aint nothing any longer than a louisiana country mileAmos walker said hed shoot me next time he caught me crossing his fenceBut I was too much in love to reallly think about it back thenWalking that tree cross thibidioux creekI can still see them gators smileBut she was worth every step of that louisiana country mileThat path got shorter as I fell deeperId swim that old swamp if I had to to see herThose days are gone and shes a memory,But when that road looks long it hits meTheres a treasure at the end of most of lifes troubles and trialsAnd there aint nothing longer than a louisiana country mileIve come a long way from that little house back in the woodsAnd I know I dont get back there as much as I shouldBut every now and then when the walls close in I can still smileI close my eyes and let my mind walk that louisiana country mileThat path got shorter as I fell deeperId swim that old swamp if I had to to see herThose days are gone and shes a memory,But when that road looks long it hits meTheres a treasure at the end of most of lifes troubles and trialsAnd there aint nothing longer than a louisiana country mileDont talk till youve walked that louisiana country mile
