Miles On Main Lyrics by Riley Green
Back when freedom was a fixer-up Chevy
My first beer was my old man’s heavy
I stole out of that shop fridge Friday night
Heaven seemed like a long ways off
The radio sounded like Tim McGraw
And everybody knew you by your four-wheel drive
We were puttin’ miles on Main
Sweatin’ in the heat for a couple of bucks to buy beer and gasoline
So we could put some miles on Main
Back then we was all about gettin’ out
But now I’d give anything
To put a couple miles on Main
We all swore that the world dropped off
Two roads south of that Baptist cross
So we always turned around at the welcome sign
We’d head on down to set up shop
In the back of that Hardy’s parkin’ lot
‘Til Barney run us off with his spotlight
And we’d be back to puttin’ miles on Main
Sweatin’ in the heat for a couple of bucks to buy beer and gasoline
So we could put some miles on Main
Back then we was all about gettin’ out
But now I’d give anything
To put a couple miles on Main
Puttin’ miles on Main
Yeah, I heard them boys back home won in overtime
Well, I bet I know where they’re gonna be tonight
Probably puttin’ miles on Main
Sweatin’ in the heat for a couple of bucks to buy beer and gasoline
To put some miles on Main
Back then we was all about gettin’ out
But now I’d give anything
To put a couple miles on Main
Put some miles on Main
Yeah, we were puttin’ miles on Main
Puttin’ miles on Main
