Drivin' hard rain Songtext

von Dave Sharp

Drivin' hard rain, drivin' hard into this ground
I'm five dollars short in this two dollar town
Train keeps on rollin', ain't never broke down
And it gets me to wonderin' where am I bound
I sometimes get lost and I sometimes get found
It's a mighty hard road to be travellin' down

Now the waters they're risin' so white may they be
Done raised a white light in the starry-eyed East
I followed some fateful footsteps so it seems
Now I'm burnin' these streets with this singin' machine
No wall ever too high will get me to ground
It's a mighty hard road to be travellin' down
A mighty hard road to be travellin' down

They fleece the poor slowly and pay the rich quick
They'd tax my religion now if that'd stick
Their whole house is fallin' for want of a brick
And it sure is a gettin' some good people licked
And you'd better watch good, now your time is a comin' around
It's a mighty hard road to be travellin' down
A mighty hard road to be travellin' down

Now the lord only knows now this town's going broke
Gotta raise me some income, I'd kill for a smoke
There's a new kind of sickness down here in the streets
That's hangin' around in the air that I breathe
There should be a warning sign here in the ground
It's a mighty hard road to be travellin' down
A mighty hard road to be travellin' down
It's a mighty hard road to be travellin' down
