Livin’ Up Country - Jake Bugg

When I were living in the country

I were working up until I fell

I only went down

My ship had already sailed

I met a girl down in Memphis

It was going well I thought at first

She never said bye

She left when she’d knew I’d fail

And if I could understand

Might finally get some rest at last

Would I fight to take a stand?

I’d never look back

Never have to look out for the Man

When I were moving out the country

Thought my luck came by and I was saved

Couldn’t get out

I found no check in the mail

So I went up to Nashville

It was going well but then went still

I couldn’t get by

Lucky to live to tell the tale

And if I could understand

Might finally get some rest at last

Would I fight to take a stand?

I’d never look back

Never have to look out for the Man

And if I could understand

Might finally get some rest at last

Would I fight to take a stand?

I’d never look back

Never have to look out for the Man

Said never look back

Never have to look out for the Man
