There she goes
Jumping over stones again
Heaven knows
The black Moses delivers
If we should lose the trail
They’ll drag us back to seventh hell
Climb the stairs
You’ll be safe up there she said
Till day is done
Then all aboard the railroad
Grab the hands of a weaker one
It’s on you to outrun the gun
Free
The road’s home
For the next month or more she said
Best move your feet
We live heart beat to beat
The tide says we’ll find our stride
And beat back on the rocks in time
If we should lose the trail
They’ll drag us back to seventh hell
Grab the hand of a weaker one
It’s on you to outrun the gun
Free
There she goes
Jumping over stones again
Heaven knows
The black Moses delivers
