Let me tell you
When that lightning hits
Better pray you ain’t under it
‘Cause the rain falls on
Good and bad alike
Ain’t nobody safe from a lightning strike
And you know
There’s trouble comin’
Let me tell you
When it rains like that
Son you better hold on to your hat
‘Cause the rain don’t care
If you’re rich or poor
Flood is gonna drive you from your front door
And you know
There’s trouble comin’
Can’t control the weather
Can’t buy your way out of a flood
Oh no
Preacher man shouting ‘bout the judgement day
Says I should repent and that I should pray
Hey preacher man, you’re in trouble too
‘Cause I hear that bell ringing and it tolls for you

I went up to the mountaintop
To take a look around
Heard a voice from long ago
Say the mighty will be cast down
I went down to the hanging tree
A big crowd drew me in
So many people, it was hard to see
But it looked like original sin
I went down to the crossroads
Looking for a myth America made
Like so many we rely upon
In our nod-and-smile charade
I went up to the capitol steps
Inspired for a fight
But I learned I had been misled
And rattlesnakes can bite
I went down to the riverside
The place to be baptized
But I felt the mountains shake
Judgement day had arrived

No Way Back (Bridges)

It’s not what you think
He’s starting to sink
What’s another drink?
Some would say he had it coming
Coins on the eyes
Counting the flies
Everybody dies
Some would say he had it coming
No way back on those bridges
No way back
They all washed out
It’s not what you think
She put on some pink
Air kiss and a wink
Some would say she had it coming
She blew a goodbye
Got caught in a lie
Life on the fly
Some would say she had it coming
No way back on those bridges
No way back
They all washed out
Outrunning, outgunning
Which one is it, man?
Outspending, happy ending
You ain’t got a plan
Reckoning is coming
Drop you where you stand
Greasing some palms
Giving some alms
Drop a few bombs
Some would say we had it coming
Say your goodbyes
Count up the lies
Watch how time flies
Some would say we had it coming
No way back on those bridges
No way back
They all washed out

I been low
I been down
Down to the river to watch myself drown
Good place to lose what you don’t want found
The river
Jump on in
Ain’t a sin
Come on
Jump on in
And start all over again
I been conned
I been took
Tried to live by another man’s book
Done some shaking and I been shook
The river
Jump on in
Ain’t a sin
Come on
Jump on in
And start all over again
Jump on in
Ain’t a sin
Come on
Jump on in
And start all over again
Getting old
Getting cold
Rolling with it so I don’t get rolled
Still I listened when a wise man told me ‘bout
The river

Shadows
in my trees
seen my share of shadows
but never these
Shadows
in my mind
not sure yet
if they’re the friendly kind
Shadows
all around
but nothing ever
makes a sound
Shadows
covering me
blinding me
I can’t see
