E
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say.
E
And if you please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today.
E E7
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.
E G D A
Like some say, better run away; others say you better stand still.
E G D A
Now I don't know but I been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold.
E G D A
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead.
E
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style.
E
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles.
E E7
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,
E G D A
Things went down we don't understand, but I think in time we will.
E G D A
Now, I don't know, but I was told in the heat of the sun a man died of cold.
E G D A
Keep on comin' or stand and wait with the sun so dark and the hour so late.
E
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride,
E
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide.
E E7
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,
E G D A
I saw things getting out of hand, I guess they always will.
E G D A
Now I don't know but I've been told if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load.
E G D A
I don't know whose back's that strong; maybe find out before too long.
E G
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness
D E
has got to give.
E G
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness
D E
has got to give.
E G
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness
D E
has got to give.
