New Speedway Boogie Songtext
von Black Cab

Please don′t dominate the rap Jack if you've got nothing new to say
If you please don′t back up the tracks, this train's gotta run today
I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I heard some say better run away
Other say better stand still
No I don't know
But I′ve been told
It′s hard to run with a weight of gold
On the other hand I've heard it said
It′s just as hard with a 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
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don′t understand
But I guess 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 or wait
With the sun so dark and the hour so late


You can′t overlook the lack Jack
Of another 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
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′ve been told
If the horse don′t pull you gotta carry the load
I don't know who′s 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

(Hunter/Garcia)
