Yeah! Oh, yeah! Now!

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)

And rock was my pillow, too (doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)

And rock was my pillow, too, yeah!

I'm saying: Talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

Talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

They say your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

Your feet is just too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long (so long)

I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)

I've been down on the rock for so long (so long)

I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)

But-a I - I'm gonna stare in the Sun

Let the rays shine in my eyes

I - I'm a gonna take a just-a one step more

'Cause I feel like bombin' a church -

Now - now that you know that the preacher is lyin'

So who's gonna stay at home

When - when the freedom fighters are fighting?

'Cause it is brighter on the outside

Then it is really on the inside

So don't you take our life for granted

Knowing where we're bound

This words will fill another mystery

Now that the day draw nigh

And we still riding high

Yes we still riding high

And we still riding high

Oh, we still riding high

Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, woe-oh-oh-oh!

Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), keep on talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

They say - you hear what they say -

Didn't you hear?

Cold ground was my bed (bed last night)

Rockstone - rockstone - rockstone was my pillow

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)

And rock was my pillow, too

Sayin': (talkin' blues, talkin' blues)

I seem to wear a permanent screw - permanent screw

Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues)

Feet is just too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
