Spring Hill County Breakdown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was twenty miles from Tailem
On a Sunday morn'
Kayla Harper stood there wide-eyed
And 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 stoned
Most with fruit and beer
And father on the half share
I didn't have the time
To know that I had just turned 17

[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 that I was standin'
On the road there
She was 34, so long and slim
With golden hair
It wasn't hard to see
That 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

[Break]
Get it!

[Verse 5]
Now lots of years have gone
And still the memory lingers
Gentle lovin', flashin' eyes
And small white fingers
Pressure 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
