Oh country down

Where I found my proving ground

All along the floodline

Wheels are turning around

The hills roll out like centuries

Pass by without a sound

Just a mile outside of town

Downriverbound

Where the [?] sky fell down

A plot against your will

Is furrowed into your brow

Against your better judgment

It's all behind you now

Just a mile outside of town

What's the use of being found?

You can lose yourself [?] underground

In the weeds hiding down river right next door

There's no frame around your picture

Just a view through my back door

Time evermore

You just found what you're looking for

A tiger rose growing through your prison door

Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore

Just a mile from my back door

You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun

On a ladder up to the sky

You're standing on the lowest rung

Holding a lifeline, using my best defense

Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against

Oh lay me down

Where we found my proving ground

All along the floodline

Waves are turning around

The hills roll out like centuries

Pass by without a sound

Just a mile outside of town
