Genesis "Deep In The Motherlode" |
Get out of the way fat man, you got something to do Go fill up your hands till they're shining back at you Well you gotta get out while there's gold in the air It's falling like water, coming down from the hills. Go West young man Earn a dollar a day just like your family said You're rolling the days right into the night You're head of the line always going way down out of sight Go West young man, like your family said. All along the wagons, all along the dusty trail Seventeen years not over a day like children in the wild Your mamma's milk still wet on your face And no one wants to pray for your safe journey home Out beyond the desert, across the Mountain by the fall Servants who leave their masters house are all walking all the way Golden fields that beckoned you Are darkened by the years. Go West young man Ah, well if you knew then, just what you know today You'd be back where you started a happier man And leave all the glory to all those who have remained. Go West young man Go West young man, like your family said. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
