Ain't No Roads

Go down Moses
There’s nothing here to see
It’s 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
There ain’t no roads from here
Momma don’t you waste your tears
Cause there ain’t no roads from here
Like that lazy delta
So many flows without a guide
Pop it really don’t much matter
Cause I’ll 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
When I got home government tried to take my soul away
With a weary heart and mind in the jailhouse he’ll 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 can’t 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 family’s done its time. But pay no mind
