New Speedway Boogie

Lyrics:

• Please don't dominate the rap, Jack
• If you've got nothing new to say
• If you please, go 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 rules 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


• One way or another
• One way or another
• One way or another
• This darkness got to give


• One way or another
• One way or another
• One way or another
• This darkness got to give, oh
