When I was a young man
Standin' in the door
The room was dark and smokey
The smell of death befo' meThink I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the roadLotsa friends and chirren
Layin' in the grass
ah makes me crazy
Believe I'm goin' have to pass
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the roadThen you find your kokane
Start to movin' fast
Trip, stumble, fall, freeze up
Hope your body lastThink I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the roadDrinkin' plenty good liquor
Bourbon twelve years old
Herowine, just in time
Worst trip that I know
Think I'll go down
Mama
Take a pass
Go on down the road
See what's goin' onSome people into Jesus
Other people into Zen
I'm just into every day
I don't hide from where I beenI just go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
