Shackled And Drawn |
One
One
One, two, three, four
Gray morning light spits through the shade
Another day older, closer to the grave
Closer to the grave and come the dawn
I woke this morning shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, carry it on
I'm trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Whoa!
Alright, yeah!
I always loved the feel of sweat on my shirt
Stand back, son, and let a man work
Let a man work, is that so wrong
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, carry it on
What's a poor boy to do in a world gone wrong
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Freedom, son, is a dirty shirt
The sun on my face and my shovel in the dirt
A shovel in the dirt keeps the devil gone
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, carry it on
What's a poor boy to do but keep singing his song
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Whoa whoa whoa!
Whoa whoa whoa!
Whoa whoa whoa!
Gambling man rolls the dice, working man pays the bill
It's still fat and easy up on banker's hill
Up on banker's hill the party's going strong
Down here below we're shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, carry it on
Trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, carry it on
What's a poor boy to do but keep singing his song
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn
Whoa!
Whoa whoa-whoa!
Whoa whoa-whoa!
Whoa whoa-whoa!
Whoa whoa-whoa!
Whoa whoa-whoa!
I want everybody to stand up
I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight
You know we got to pray together
I want you to stand up
I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight
