New Speedway Boogie (Remastered LP Version) - Grateful Dead

Please don't dominate the rap jack

If you've got nothing new to say

If you please don't 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

Axioms 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 done 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

Its 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 backs 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
