Out on the Rise Songtext
von The Deslondes

Everybody′s going home
The bars are plugged
The lamps are trimmed and burnin' low
All the willows just shrug
Think I′ll pack it in
And head to Montgomery
Swimming in this sea of sin, Lord
Well, it sure gets lonely


Every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I'm out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I'll make it I know
But I never been so good at that
I′m a hard working man
But I ain′t got a thing
'Cause I can′t keep no job
That won't let me sing
I rub my eyes and then
Seen another day
And how come all my closest friends
Are so far away?
Every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I′m out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I'll make it I know
But I never been so good at that

My soul′s a lion's den
There ain't no place to hide
Heart′s an engineer
Out on his last ride
But if you come a little closer
I′ll give you my right ear
Won't you please tell me somethin′
That might keep me here?
Every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I'm out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I′ll make it I know
But I never been so good at that
