We cut through the backwoods of the Harrison farm Jumped over the rock fence under Mr. Jenkins’ barn Made a beeline down Choctaw Bend to the Pawnee Bridge and ran into town Raced that train to the tracks without slowing down
We went to see the mason man at Old Man James’ store And those rocking chairs weren’t rocking, the answers are gone, and there’s a sign that said "Closed" on the door Turned around and ran back to the tracks to who the kids had come to call the Reverend Railroad Miller Jack And he’d give you sermons and songs, all his rights and what’s wrongs I would string this guitar with a flag across his lap and he’d say
"Settle down now, you kids are gonna be okay Settle down now, the Boys and Girls are fighting for you today Settle down now, I’m gonna tell you what you wanna believe" Well he said "you dedicate your soul for God, Country and Rock ’n’ Roll And get America High And get America High
We filed them questions one by one and he knocked ‘em down to the ground while we stood there in line He said "I fought with your Daddy, Child, off the coast of Hell in the summer of 1969" Well I was born in the Vietnam War and he died later that same year But this country is my rock and my soul rolls from my faith in God, and that’s what keeps me here
Settle down now, you kids are gonna be okay Settle down now, the Boys and Girls are fighting for you today Settle down now, settle down Well he said "you dedicate your soul for God, Country and Rock ’n’ Roll And get America High And get America High And get America High Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
