Down the road I go There's mud in the water Roach in the cellar Bugs in the sugar Mortgage on the home Mortgage on the home There's garbage on the sidewalk Highways on the back yard Police on the corner Mortgage on the car Mortgage on the car Move Down the road I go They're selling independence Actors in the White House Acid in digestion Mortgage on my life Mortgage on my life Move Down the road I go Lo, it's all so true, They told me, "Don't go walkin' slow 'Cause Devil's on the loose." Better run through the jungle, Better run through the jungle, Better run through the jungle, Woa, Don't look back to see. Callin' to my name, Two hundred million guns are loaded Satan cries, "Take aim!" Thunder magic spoke, "Let the people know my wisdom, Fill the land with smoke." Poke the fire, don't let the cold in. Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. Filled with hope 'bout the step I'm takin'. Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. Shoutin' orders to his crew; No one hears but me. Hoist the sail, strong wind's comin'. Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. Shoutin' orders to his crew; No one hears but me. Poke the fire, don't let the cold in. Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. Somebody got me last night (shame, it's a shame) Sat down for a friendly duel (shame, it's a shame) With one-eyed jacks 'n' jokers too (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) Poormouth Henry turned on me (shame, it's a shame) Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean" (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile" (shame, it's a shame) Had three aces 'n' he had five (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame) And the moon is hate I'll be down to get you. Roots of earth will shake. Sinister Purpose Knockin' at your door; Come and take my hand. You and I remain. Did you see the last war? Well, here I am again. Make you rich and wise. We can live forever; Look into my eyes. Oh, Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q. I like the way you talk; I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q. Well, say that you'll be true, Well, say that you'll be true, And never leave me blue, Susie Q. Well, say that you'll be mine, Well, say that you'll be mine, Baby all the time, Susie Q. Oh Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q. I like the way you talk, I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q. Oh Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q. Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind? Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road; She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair; Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care. Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, We could make music at the Greasy King. Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, Won't you ride on my fast machine? Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down. I turned away to see her, Woa! she caught my eye, But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last. Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride? Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high. But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last. Gave someone else a chance To try their luck Instead, you run up closer Try'n to grab a page Before they close the book It was over 'fore it started Seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you cryin' Wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end Thought you had the honor Took special pride In all your well laid plans Forgot about the others We moved out t'ward the light Showin' empty hands It was over 'fore it started Seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you cryin' Wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end Love to be the winner Gather up your chips In time to cash 'em in We're all lookin' thinner Playin' cards Too close for either one to win It was over 'fore it started Seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you cryin' Wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end Playin' where my roller derby rolls. Just a part time music man, A nobody at the plant, I'm Tearin' Up The Country with a song. Only way to make the family proud." I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. I'm tearin' Up The Country with a song. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. And they march you to the table to see the same old thing. Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan. But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me. By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore. Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand; She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man.

To be with the one you love. I said the night time, ooh, is the right time To be with the one you love. I said the night time, ooh, is the right time To be with the one you love.

I was born on a Sunday, by Thursday I was workin' out on the job. I ain't never had no day off since I learned right from wrong. Said, I was bad, I did something to her head. Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head. And poppa threw me out, ooh, said I gotta earn my own way. I ain't never been in trouble, I ain't got the time. I don't mess around with magic, child. What I got is mine. Whatever you say, Lord, well, that's what I'm gonna do. Whatever you say, well, that's what I'm gonna do 'cause I'm the working man, Lord, I do the job for you. I ain't never been in trouble, I ain't got the time. I don't mess around with magic, child. What I got is mine. Every Friday, well, that's when I get paid. Don't take me on Friday, Lord, 'cause that's when I get paid. Let me die on Saturday night, ooh, before Sunday gets my head Tombstone shadow stretchin' across my path. Every time I get some good news, oh, there's a shadow on my back. Saw the gypsy man way down in San Berdoo. Said, I saw the gypsy man way down in San Berdoo Five dollars on the table, oh, keep my way from my tomb. Said I got thirteen months of bad luck, bound to be some pain. Don't you do no trav'lin', fly in no machines. Tombstone shadow strechin' across my path. Every time I get some good news, oh, there's a shadow on my back. The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more. Said, put some on your pillow and put some on your door. He said, take a long vacation, oh, for thirteen months or more. Tombstone shadow stretchin' across my path. Tombstone shadow stretchin' across my path. Every time I get some good news, oh, there's a shadow on my back Come away Come on a-rising wind Bring a song and a smile for the banjo Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Come on a-rising wind You can ponder perpetual motion Always time for good conversation Come on a-rising wind Ooh There's a place up ahead Come on a-rising wind Down by the river near my home. Couldn't believe, with my own eyes, And I swear I'll never leave my home again. Coming right at me from the other side. Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid." Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain; I don't want to go; I don't want to go. I don't want to go. You come back cryin' and you want to go home For someone forgettin' it seems Like you're lettin' it take you away from me Was your idea to pack up and go You said you had no life of your own Movin' in was not too hard to do Ya got second thoughts, you're gonna have to choose What are you gonna do? Forget about your mother and think about you For someone forgettin' it seems Like you're lettin' it take you away from me Told you all the secrets that were mine The good things that I picked up overtime Won't accept the reason why you're here Talk things out, overcome the fear What are you gonna do? Forget about your mother and think about you For someone forgettin' it seems Like you're lettin' it take you away from me Thought that I was all that you need You told me things I wanted to believe You know thet leaving me would be wrong Stay with me, I'll help you to be strong What are you gonna do? Forget about your mother and think about you For someone forgettin' it seems Like you're lettin' it take you away from me Is there somethin' on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings, Is that something in your eye? Liked the way it all goes down; Go on, Hideaway. We're all bound for the graveyard; Oooh, I wish you well. Think it's gonna rain, Oh, what's the difference, Is there some way I can help? When you're gone, oh, Lord, Wish I Could Hideaway I can hear the leavin' train. Oooh, I wish you well. See you soon, maybe tomorrow. You can never tell; When you're gone, oh, Wish I could Hideaway I was feelin' strung out, hung out on the line. Saw myself a-goin' down to war in June. All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune. Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed. If you see the answer now's the time to say. All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray. Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains. Somebody said, it's diff rent now, but look, it's just the same. Pharaohs spin the message round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you? Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you. |
