[Verse 1] Stranded inside a madhouse baby Down in old pine grove Been up for days in a drunkard's haze Just lit up by this stove We got the band in the basement mom Fire on that mountain steel Don't need your plough or that old milk cow Workin' on this hill Hang up the wagon wheel
[Verse 2] Well here comes the rain she's a stumblin' terror High on a bathtub gin Shows me a kid and tells me how she is How she was back when So back when I worked for the county clerk When I wore those finer clothes Now them days are gone and we ain't got long But I'm still a mountain rose Heart likе a young Pete Rose
[Chorus] Ain't comin' down it's a-roarin' now High on your rivеr town Dance on your porch down that old cane torch Let your mountain sound Too late to lay it down
[Verse 3] Well out on the ridge where they're rollin', ma Stray dogs and sirens fight Barred all the doors, nailin' two by fours Brushed off the coal oil light And if I slip don't you catch me babe I'll find that back road bend I'll turn around like an old bloodhound Cut out my trail again Back to my trailer den
[Chorus] Ain't comin' down it's a roarin' now High on your river town Dance on your porch down that old cane torch Let your mountain sound Too late to lay it downTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
