Golden Road

Take it like a man they said

Take your medicine

Find a golden road and stand

Then I saw exactly what they meant.

Find my homeboys on the dusky road

Who couldn't give a should about their life

Heed their words of faded brown

Then live it and sing about their strife.

Then bring your song to the river at sunrise

Sing that song 'til the river runs clean

It will happen to you

As its happened to me

Won't you sing that lovely song for me

It's alright mama

Let your children be loud

Watch them run into trouble

So they can figure it out

We spread our seeds far 'cross this land

Hoping they'd fall on good ground.

A vaccination in the sun and rain shine

And take a good long hard look around.

Then bring your song to the river at sunrise

Sing that song 'til the river runs clean

It will happen to you

As its happened to me

Come clean with me

It's alright mama

Let your children be loud

Watch them run into trouble

'Cause trouble's their medicine

Mama take your medicine.
