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
