Uphill Mountain (Live)

歌詞

Big Joe Tuner, Elmore James Street survivor selling walking canes Says: "Give your babies holy names for me" Now I don't know, but I've been told You never grow up, you'll never get old You can watch the world being bought and sold All on your T.V Sometimes it gets a little rough Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all And if you're gonna fall, well you might as well fall Build a house, make it home Gonna make a place where I can be alone Don't the yard look pretty when it?s overgrown? Standing six feet tall This ain't right, but it's a livin' You got to take just what you are given 'Cause luck only matters with the cards and the women And sometimes not at all Sometimes it gets a little rough Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all And if you're gonna fall, well you might as well fall Peeping Tom said to Madame Rose: I've seen you already without your clothes, now what I suggest, honey what I propose is that You see me without mine? Tell John Henry and Cassius Clay Swinging iron for a living is a hell of a way But whatever you do don't let your hammer stray I believe we'll be just fine Sometimes it gets a little rough Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all And if you're gonna crawl, well you might as well crawl
