Go down Moses Theres nothing here to see Its just my old man in his rocking chair Waiting for his time to be free Now the weight has lifted But the shackles still remain But with a bottle of wine after suppertime We can drink our cares away [Chorus] There aint no roads from here Momma dont you waste your tears Cause there aint no roads from here Like that lazy delta So many flows without a guide Pop it really dont much matter Cause Ill just find you by the riverside You can wash yourself anew And we will heal down to the bone With some family love and some guidance from above We can find our way home [Chorus] When I got home government tried to take my soul away With a weary heart and mind in the jailhouse hell stay Even the dirt gon rise So please be at ease and make your amends Cause I see the light up around the bend Go down Moses You cant keep a man down for long No matter how many miles may lay ahead That train will keep on rollin on And we will ride them rails till dawn Coastin down the line What a beautiful bind to rise above This familys done its time. But pay no mind [Chorus]
