Curl your lip and strum country to me Well you took to it so fast While I was so slow You held my hand But now I'm so old Got to start from somewhere So I'll start from the grave We'll count the steps along the way Curl your lip and make me want to live For one more day Make me want to sleep Through one more night I owe everything Debts I can't escape til the day I die Got to start from somewhere So I'll start from the grave We'll count the steps along the way Odds for a christening And evens, a wedding day Walk me from st giles to st james Here in your shadow You keep me from getting burned Got to start from somewhere So I'll start from the grave We'll count the steps along the way Odds for a christening And evens, a wedding day Walk me from st giles to st james
