david kersh – louisiana country mile lyrics
(mark alan springer/jerry laseter)
your teacher might’ve told you it was five thousand something feet
that ain’t to far in a car or on a city street
let me tell you son, back where i come from
you learn as a little child
there ain’t nothing any longer than a louisiana country mile
amos walker said he’d shoot me next time he caught me crossing his fence
but i was too much in love to reallly think about it back then
walking that tree cross thibidioux creek
i can still see them gators smile
but she was worth every step of that louisiana country mile
that path got shorter as i fell deeper
i’d swim that old swamp if i had to to see her
those days are gone and she’s a memory,
but when that road looks long it hits me
there’s a treasure at the end of most of life’s troubles and trials
and there ain’t nothing longer than a louisiana country mile
i’ve come a long way from that little house back in the woods
and i know i don’t get back there as much as i should
but every now and then when the walls close in i can still smile
i close my eyes and let my mind walk that louisiana country mile
that path got shorter as i fell deeper
i’d swim that old swamp if i had to to see her
those days are gone and she’s a memory,
but when that road looks long it hits me
there’s a treasure at the end of most of life’s troubles and trials
and there ain’t nothing longer than a louisiana country mile
don’t talk till you’ve walked that louisiana country mile
