Rockdale

Goin' down, goin' down Gonna find another way Goin' down, goin' down As my old man would say Gotta shake that ball and chain Turn the wheels and go! Goin' down, goin' down Hear the music play Gonna leave it on the floor Gonna dance these blues away! When the good ol' boys start pickin' Turn the night to the day Going down to the Rockdale Gonna lay it all down for you Leave your coat at the hotel We'll be hanging in the old barroom Lock the doors, feed the hounds Be at least a day or two Grabbed the bible, make my rounds Till there's nothing left to do Glass jar with the money Funny, how 'bout dancing shoes? Going down to the Rockdale Gonna lay it all down for you Leave your coat at the hotel We'll be hanging in the old barroom Going down to the Rockdale Gonna lay it all down for you Leave your coat at the hotel We'll be hanging in the old barroom (Jam) I don't know if I'll ever go home again The open road's got me thinking like a different man Fifteen miles to the places we might go So I'll lend my ears to the wind Going down to the Rockdale Gonna lay it all down for you Leave your coat at the hotel We'll be hanging in the old barroom Going down to the Rockdale Gonna lay it all down for you One life to live for And the sun will be rising soon
