> Please don't dominate the rap, jack, if you've got nothing new to say.
> If you please, don't back up the track; this train's got to run today.

> Now I don't know, but I been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold.

> One step done and another begun and I wonder how many miles.
> I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill.
> Things went down we don't understand, but I think 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 and wait, with the sun so dark and the hour so late.
> You can't overlook the lack, jack, of any other 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, I 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 been told
> If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load.
> I don't know whose 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.
