lyrics

All those miles ago, on a straight flat stretch of road
Staring at a phone pole wire, waitin' to be a liar
Boundin' o’er the main, in the dark and in the pouring rain
Over the hills, and higher and higher, me and my Country Squire

It was time to let you go
I was the last to know
Pull the plugs and take the plates
Toss the keys and seal our fate

There were things I didn’t fix, til the rust ran on the bricks
Broken windows and leaky tires, rotten spark plug wires
But we always rolled along, til something else went wrong
I left a lot to be desired, me and my Country Squire

It was time to let you go
I was the last to know
Pull the plugs and take the plates
Toss the keys and seal our fate

Now my memory’s up on blocks, full of weeds with broken locks
Spare parts in a cardboard box
I see your face in a dusty mirror, now it seems so clear
I’m the reason that we're sittin' here

Oh the gate goes side and down, side and down
Side and down, Side and Down

You left me behind, you didn’t think I’d mind
I was too young to be retired, my license was not expired
You were gone in a cloud of smoke, left me here to choke
I left a lot to be desired, a simple Country Squire
Me and my Country Squire
A Simple Country Squire
