Spring Hill County Breakdown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was twenty miles from Tailem on a Sunday morn' Kyla Harper stood there wide-eyed with the sun dawnin' Slowly round her shoulders Just about the prettiest I have seen Mmmm-hmmm [Verse 2] I was coming back from Spring Town, the store there Most with fruit and beer and father on the half share And didn't have the time to know that I had just turned seventeen [Chorus] And the Spring Hill county breakdown's on my mind I guess I never had the time before To open up old memory's door since I became a man Mmmm-hmmm now I can [Verse 3] I was scared at her just standin' on the road there She was thirty-four, so long and slim with golden hair It wasn't hard to see She'd been drinkin' and she wanted to be free [Verse 4] It was strange that we got talkin' I was dead with fright She could hardly speak, I held her, she said "got a light?" So drunk there on my shoulder And we climbed into a car just after dawn [Chorus] And the Spring Hill county breakdown's on my mind I guess I never had the time before To open up old memory's door since I became a man Mmmm-hmmm now I can [Post-Chorus] Get it! [Verse 5] Now lots of years have gone and still the memory lingers Gentle lovin', flashin' eyes, and small white fingers Pressing me and never tell That sweet moment changed my mind forever more [Chorus] And the Spring Hill county breakdown's on my mind I guess I never had the time before To open up old memory's door since I became a man [Chorus] Oh, and the Spring Hill county breakdown's on my mind I guess I never had the time before To open up old memory's door since I became a man Ohhh-ohhh now I can [Outro] Ohhh-ohhh now I can Mmmm-hmmm now I can Ohhh-ohhh now I can Mmmm-hmmm now I can
