Ain't No Roads - Great Divide

Go down Moses

There’s nothing here to see

It’s just my old man in his rocking chair

Waiting for his time to be free

Now the weight has lifted

But the shackles still remain

But with a bottle of wine after suppertime

We can drink our cares away

There ain’t no roads from here

Momma don’t you waste your tears

Cause there ain’t no roads from here

Like that lazy delta

So many flows without a guide

Pop it really don’t much matter

Cause I’ll just find you by the riverside

You can wash yourself anew

And we will heal down to the bone

With some family love and some guidance from above

We can find our way home

When I got home government tried to take my soul away

With a weary heart and mind in the jailhouse he’ll stay

Even the dirt gon' rise

So please be at ease and make your amends

Cause I see the light up around the bend

Go down Moses

You can’t keep a man down for long

No matter how many miles may lay ahead

That train will keep on rollin' on

And we will ride them rails till dawn

Coastin' down the line

What a beautiful bind to rise above

This family’s done its time.

But pay no mind
