Am                                                            C                        G            Am
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say.
And also please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today.
Am                                                            C                        G                  Am
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.
Am                                                C                  G                        D
Like some say, better run away; others say you better stand still.
Am                                                                  C       G                  Am
Now I don't know but I been told that it's hard to run with the
                                    weight of gold
Am                                                                  C            G
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the
                                                      D
                                    weight of lead
Am                                                      C                  G            Am
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style.
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles.
Am                                                            C                        G                  Am
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,
I saw things getting out of hand but I guess they always will.
Am                                                                  C                  G                  Am
Well, I don't know, but I've been told in the heat of the sun a man
                                    died of cold
Am                                                                  C            G                  D
Keep on comin' or stand and wait with the sun so dark and the hour so late.
Am                                                            C                  G                  Am
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride,
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide.
Am                                                            C                  G                  Am
Now I don't know but I've been told if the horse don't pull you
                                    got to carry the load.
Am                                                            C            G                              D
I don't know whose back`s that strong; maybe find out before too long.
Am
One way or another, one way or another, this darkness has got to give.
