UP AND DOWN From the 2002 release "Over Cloud Nine" |
|
Words and music by Danny Johnson, Lex Price, and David Posey
You come in to the world they put you in school
Spend most of your time trying to break the rules
Winding down a twisted road late at night
Follow the signs and hold on tight
Beg your mom and daddy for the car
Say you'll be home early you won't go far
All you want is a little more gas
Police sound says your moving to fast
Up and down got to get a foot on the ground
Up and down look at what ya've done
Ya bombin' the pentagon up and down
Boys in the alley wanting somethin' to do
Hookers on the corner wantin' money for a screw
One eyed jack he's jonesin' in the back
Some joker's laughing he stole his stash
Inside out outside in then there are those who get the pieces back together again
Sure as the crow flies from the hills I think it's time to flush these pills
Up and down got to get a foot on the ground
Up and down up and down whole worlds up and down
Up and down gotta get a foot on the ground
