Please don't dominate the rap, |
|
JackIf you've got nothing new to say |
|
If you please, don't back up the track |
|
This train's got to run today |
|
I spent a little time on the mountain |
|
I spent a little time on the hill |
|
I heard someone say, "Better run away" |
|
Others say, "Better stand still" |
|
Now I don't know, but |
|
I been told |
|
It's hard to run with the weight of gold |
|
Other hand |
|
I have heard it said |
|
It's just as hard with the weight of lead |
|
Who can deny, who can deny |
|
It's not just a change in style? |
|
One step down and another begun |
|
And I wonder how many miles |
|
I spent a little time on the mountain |
|
I spent a little time on the hill |
|
Things went down we don't understand |
|
But I think in time we will |
|
Now I don't know but |
|
I was told |
|
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold |
|
Keep on coming or stand and wait |
|
With the sun so dark and the hour so late |
|
You can't overlook the lack, |
|
JackOf any other highway to ride |
|
It's got no signs or dividing lines |
|
And very few rule to guide |
|
I spent a little time on the mountain |
|
I spent a little time on the hill |
|
I saw things getting out of hand |
|
I guess they always will |
|
Now, I don't know but |
|
I been told |
|
If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load |
|
I don't know whose back's that strong |
|
Maybe find out before too long |
|
One way or another, one way or another |
|
One way or another, this darkness got to give |
