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
Heard some say
Better run away
Others say you 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 done and
another begun
and I wonder
how many miles
I spent a little time
on the mountain
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
