- Jackie Greene Uphill Mountain 歌詞
- Jackie Greene
- Big Joe Turner, Elmore James
street survivor selling walking canes
'Give your babies holy names for me'
I don't know, but I've been told
you never grow up and 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 wheels 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, honey make it home
gonna make a place man where I can be alone
dont the yard look pretty when its overgrown?
standing six feet tall
this ain't a riot but it's a living
you've 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 wheels 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 twice already without your clothes
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 one 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 wheels made of steel going an uphill mountain
stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
and if you're gonna crawl well you might as well crawl
Oh, you might as well crawl
