VERSE 1:
E
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say
E
And if you please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today
E                            E7        E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill
E                               G              D            A
Like some say, better run away, others say you better stand still

CHORUS:
E                                          G       D            A
Now I don't know but I been told that it's hard to run with the weight of gold
E                                           G       D             A
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead

VERSE 2:
E
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style
E
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles
E                            E7        E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill
E                                            G        D        A
Things went down you don't understand, but I think in time you will

CHORUS:
E                                        G           D         A
Now I don't know, but I was told, in the heat of the sun a man died of cold
E                                          G      D            A
Keep on comin' or stand and wait, with the sun so dark and the hour so late

VERSE 3:
E
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride
E
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide
E                            E7        E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill
E                                   G          D      A
I saw things getting out of hand, I guess they always will

CHORUS:
E                                           G           D               A
Now I don't know but I've been told, if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load
E                                      G          D     A
I don't know whose back's that strong, maybe find out before too long

OUTRO:
E                                                                G          D      E
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness's got to give   (x3 and fade)
