lyrics

One time for your crooked mind, said I
As I gave the man a pound
He said, “thank you stranger
The deed will come back round;
Perhaps we’ll drink together, man
Next time you pass through town”
Picks up his guitar again and sings:

It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road I lie upon
It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road
I stumble on

…there’s no backing down.

Two times for your crooked mind, said I
As I gave the man coin
He said, “I don’t need money now
But I could smoke a joint”
“fine”, said I
Sat by his side
I rolled and rolled, he told his life
And toked like he deserved to choke
And die…

He said

It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road I lie upon
It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road
I stumble on

…there’s no backing down.

Three times for your crooked mind
Standing at the grave.
Many of us fall
And very few are saved
It makes no difference now,
If he cursed, or if he prayed
Perhaps we’ll drink together
One of these days…

It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road I lie upon
It won’t be long before I’m gone
Swallowed by the road
I stumble on

…there’s no backing down.
