Up From the Hill Songtext
von Chris Knight

he been walkin′ cross town
shirt tail in the wind
old crow flyin' around in his head
wears a half crazy grin

rock n roll
drivin′ wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill

bull frog hollered from a river bank
wild dog howlin' in the pines
rock train comin' cross the cain creek trestle
slow enough to catch a ride

2 am in the mornin′
he done pissed off all his friends
he come knockin′ on bessie's door
she′s the only one who'll let him in

rock n roll
drivin′ wheel


down from the valley and up from the hill
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill

he been walkin′ cross town
to the church out by the track
got a copperhead in a burlap bag
and a six string on his back

tambourines a-janglin'
hobnails stompin' time
his faith is stronger than a rattlesnake bite
but he won′t touch strychnine

rock n roll
drivin′ wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
down from the valley and up from the hill
