Doobie Brothers - Down In The Track Lyrics
Tom johnstonI been workin the whole day longOn these railroad ties singin a sad, sad songDown the track is a bad way to liveThe boss mans whip is all hes got to giveAnd late at night in the twilight of the southThey put you in a cell and let the bulldogs outThe old cat down the wayWell hes singin out the bluescause hes got no one back homeOh, somebody sighedNext day comes they send you back out on the trackAll that sweat be drippin down off your backEverybodys singin a workin mans songHopin they dont have to feel the whip on their boneThe water boy slowly works his way aroundA bucket full of swamp water weighin him downOld squezer walker just fell out on the groundAnd theyre draggin his body awayOh, my, my, myWell, theres talk around campThat theres gonna be a fightOld razor face and willie blackThe meanest dudes in sightOnes got a razor and the others got a knifeBut only ones gonna walk out aliveOh, baby, mama, get me out of hereCant stand no moreThis place is gonna be the death of meBelieve to my soul that I gotta be freeTheres only one way that its every gonna beThats when the angels come and take me awayWell, nowOh, baby, mama, get me out of hereCant stand no moreThis place is gonna be the death of meBelieve to my soul that I gotta be freeTheres only one way that its every gonna beThats when the angels come and take me awayWell, now
