Doobie Brothers - Jericho Lyrics
Tom JohnstonWindecor Music (BMI)Well I'm standin' on top of the mountainJust about a mile from Jericho.And my throat is hot and dusty,Down to the water I must go.Catherine the Great and brave UlyssesPlayin' checkers out in the sun.Jesse James and young William BonnieHave started a religion for everyone.Well I'm standin' on top of the mountainJust about a mile from Jericho.And my throat is hot and dusty,Down to the water I must go.Well the drums they are loud down in rap town,But the Pope has been quiet for days.Well some gunmen robbed a bank in CaliforniaAnd the cops blew them all away.If you don't like the picture don't turn it off.The only way to change it is to do it yourself.Well I'm standin' on top of the mountainJust about a mile from Jericho.And my throat is hot and dusty,Down to the water I must go.Peace and love on the wings of a doveHas flown away.We're payin' the rentOn the blood that's been spent,On a mortgage that's too high to be paid.Well I'm standin' on top of the mountainJust about a mile from Jericho.And my throat is hot and dusty,Down to the water I must go.Well I'm standin' on top of the mountainJust about a mile from Jericho.And my throat is hot and dusty,Down to the water I must go.Arranged by Tom Johnston and Guy AllisonGuest Artists: Marc Russo - Horns Yvonne Williams and Maxayne Lewis - Background Vocals
