Lyrics You Know the Rest - Steve Earle

You Know the Rest

Moses went up to the mountain
To see what he could see
Well he come down talking bout a burning bush
Says this is how its gonna be Hes scared to death
You know the rest
Columbus went down to the ocean
In 1492
He said boys, Im looking for india
But america will do Sailed to the west
You know the rest
Davey crockett went out to texas
To fight at the alamo
Old will travis never told him
Texas is in mexico
Its a bloody mess
You know the rest
Robert johnson went down to the crossroads
A guitar in his hands
Well, the devil had him a guitar, too
He says this is what you need man,
You can be the best
You know the rest
Well this song aint got no reason
Hell this song barely rhymes
Well it come to me when I was asleep
And it wakes me up sometimes
I cant get no rest
You know the rest
