THE COUNTRY MILE (John A Spittles)

I´ve found gold in your morning smile
with arms as long as a country mile
never wanted more then to see you smile
Shut the door and stick around for a while
And riding in your car i feel like
I could be with you night and day
Sleeping in your bed and knowing that you feel the same way
I´ve been wrong and i know i´ve lied
I was so alone and downright tired
But now i feel it´s become my time
to show you gold and watch it shine
Riding in her car i feel like
I could be with her night and day
Sleeping in her bed and knowing that she feels the same way
And as i ride along New South Head Road
My taxi drivers moving way too slow
A curve in the road and the curve in your smile
Stick around for a while you´ll get a love thats longer than a country mile
Little red car in the Summertime
Top down hair in my eyes
She´s got the wheel her foots thru the floor
She drives too fast but i dont drive at all!
Riding in that car i feel like
I could be with here night and day
Sleeping in her bed and knowing
That she feels the same way
As i ride along New South Head road
My taxi driver´s moving way too slow
Curve in the road and the curve in her smile
Stick around for a while you´ll get a love that´s longer than a country mile

from Cowboys and Indians, released August 1, 2007
The Country mile was recorded by Mike Burnham, Mike also played Drums and mixed the song in his wonderful Studio Tardis in Marrickville Australia, Kendall James payed the Bass guitar rather well i think and Billy Gibson sang ALL the vocals doing a great job singing his own backing vocals!! The Wonderful Brad Shepherd played Acoustic guitar and Banjo , what a great little Banjo solo it is!! and all there was left to do (after writing the song) was for Little old JC to add some acoustic guitar.
