5 Miles Outside Monroe
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Five miles outside of Monroe They say a man there just been killed Say you don't wanna talk about it But twenty dollars says you will Thought we made some progress Stayed up 'til the dawn I thought we made some progress Oh, then again, I could be wrong [Verse 2] Well, five miles outside of Monroe You're drumming your fingers on the dashboard Otis Redding's on the radio He's always so lonely at the dock of the bay I thought we made some progress With the advent of a kiss Yeah, I thought we made some progress Oh, then again, it was just a wish [Chorus] On and on, brick by brick Come and build my house While I try to get real good At putting words in people's mouths One day when the bottom drops out Oh, we'll lay this thing to rest The truth sleeping like dynamite Inside this paper flesh [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Phone calls have been placed Letters have been sent We've been trying to determine the exact nature of Your critical involvement Five miles outside of Monroe There's static on the dispatch "Freedom"--there's a holy word But there's a simple catch [Chorus] On and on, brick by brick Come and build my house While I try to get real good At putting words in people's mouths One day when the bottom drops out Oh, we'll lay this thing to rest The truth sleeping like dynamite Inside this paper flesh
