Up From The Hill

(album: Enough Rope - 2006)

He been walking cross town
Shirt tail in the wind
Old crow flying around in his head
Wears a half crazy grin

Rock n roll
Driving wheel
Down from the valley and up from the hill

Bull frog hollered from a river bank
Wild dog howling in the pines
Rock train coming cross the cain creek trestle
Slow enough to catch a ride

2 am in the morning
He done pissed off all his friends
He come knocking on bessie's door
She's the only one who'll let him in

Rock n roll
Driving wheel
Down from the valley and up from the hill

He been walking cross town
To the church out by the track
Got a copperhead in a burlap bag
And a six string on his back
Tambourines a-jangling
Hobnails stomping time
His faith is stronger than a rattlesnake bite
But he won't touch strychnine

Rock n roll
Driving wheel
Down from the valley and up from the hill
