| Please don’t dominate the rap, jack, if 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, jack, of 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 |
