Exit 10

Old Hobo ain't got no plans Thumbing down the road to the Promised Land He ain't looking back from where he's been Gonna rest a little while off Exit 10 Old Hobo's just got the news Front page paper in the soles of his shoes Says times are bad and it's getting worse They still got the Good News at the Vision Church Something's going on down in Alabam We got knees on the ground, hands on the plows Never seen clearer than I see right now Rain's rolling in down Exit 10 The Lemon Man down a one way street Gives lemons to his womens 'cause his love's bittersweet Well, I don't know but I've heard tell Before you get to Heaven got to get through Hell Something's going on down in Alabam We got knees on the ground, hands on the plows Never seen clearer than I see right now Rain's rolling in down Exit 10 Never been one for singing the blues Living on a prayer you got nothing to lose I walk the Gulf of Mexico Seagulls trolling shrimpboats heading home Something's going on down in Alabam We got knees on the ground, hands on the plows Never seen clearer than I see right now Rain's rolling in down Exit 10 Something's going on down in Alabam Down in Chickasaw, down in Saraland Never seen clearer than I see right now Rain's rolling in down Exit 10 Rain's rolling in down Exit 10 ©2020
