Gave half my life to the sawmill Gave half my hand to the blade Well that's all that I have to show for Every penny that he ever made 'Cause Mr Abrams can do what he wants to But I may not come out alive It's a long stretch of highway but you better not go A mile over 45 He paved every road in the county He owns all the land on both sides But don't take your paycheck for freedom 'Cause that's when the two worlds collide 'Cause Mr Abrams can do what he wants to But I may not come out alive It's a long stretch of highway but you better not go A mile over 45 Well each morning I stare down these crossroads And count all the steps to the line It don't take long to come to my senses And put that shit outta my mind 'Cause Mr Abrams can do what he wants to But I may not come out alive It's a long stretch of highway but you better not go A mile over 45 A mile over 45
