Please dont dominate the rap, Jack
If youve got nothing new to say
If you please, dont back up the track
This train has got to run today
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say: Better run away
Others say: You better stand still
Now I dont know but I was told
Its a hill to run with a plate of gold
Other hand I have heard it said
Its just as hard with the weight of lead
You cant overlook the lack, Jack
Of any other highway to ride
Its got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide
I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will
I dont know but I was told
In the heat of the sun, a man died of cold
On the run and dont stand and wait
With the sun so dark and the hour so late
Who can deny? Who can deny?
Its not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
And I wonder how many miles?
I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Some things we dont understand
I guess they always will
I dont know but I was told
If the horse dont pull you got to carry the load
Dont know whose backs that strong
Maybe find out before too long
Ooh, one way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give
