It's a hard road

To be walking down

Bare feet on the stone ground

It's a long ride

Across fifty states

Kicking the dust that God made

Sowing seeds on a mine field

Making the best of a bad deal

From the cradle way down to the end of time

It's down to you



Chorus:

You'd better roll with it

You'd better go with it

You'd better roll with it

Way down the big road blue

Way down the big road blue

Way down the big road blue

Big road blue

Big road blue



Back in the city

The streets are cold

It takes a heart of steel to mine a nickel of gold

You hit a brick wall

You could have run

But now you're facing up to a machine gun

Beat it down the avenue

Keep running right on to the only thing that's going to get you through

The road ahead's going to rise to you



Chorus
