When I was a young man

Standin' in the door

The room was dark and smokey

The smell of death befo' me

Think I'll go down Mama

Go on down the road

See what's goin' on

Down the road

Lotsa friends and chirren

Layin' in the grass

Hookah makes me crazy

Believe I'm goin' have to pass

Then you find your cocaine

Start to movin' fast

Trip, stumble, fall, freeze up

Hope your body last

Drinkin' plenty good liquor

Bourbon twelve years old

Heroine, just in time

Worst trip that I know

Some people into Jesus

Other people into Zen

I'm just into everyday

I don't hide from where I been

I just go down Mama

Go on down the road

See what's goin' on

Down the road
