Please don?t dominate the rap, Jack   If you?ve got nothing new to say   If you please, go back up the track   This train?s got to run today      I spent a little time on the mountain   I spent a little time on the hill   I heard someone say better run away   Others say better stand still      Now, I don?t know but I been told   It?s hard to run with the weight of gold   Other hand, I have heard it said   It?s just as hard with the weight of lead      Who can deny? Who can deny?   It?s not just a change in style   One step down and another begun   And I wonder how many miles      I spent a little time on the mountain   I spent a little time on the hill   Things went down, we don?t understand   But I think in time we will      Now, I don?t know but I was told   In the heat of the sun a man died of cold   Keep on coming or stand and wait   With the sun so dark and the hour so late      You can?t overlook the lack, Jack   Of any other highway to ride   It?s got no signs or dividing lines   And very few rules to guide      I spent a little time on the mountain   I spent a little time on the hill   I saw things getting out of hand   I guess they always will      Now, I don?t know but I been told   If the horse don?t pull you got to carry the load   I don?t know, whose back?s that strong   Maybe find out before too long      One way or another   One way or another   One way or another   This darkness got to give      One way or another   One way or another   One way or another   This darkness got to give      One way or another   One way or another   One way or another   This darkness got to give, oh
