Lowside Of The Road

I'm on a black elevator goin down
Little Joe from Kokomo it rattles to the ground
The dice is laughin at the man that he throwed
I'm rollin over to the Lowside of the road
The moon is red and your dancin real slow
29 miles left to go
The chain monkeys help you with your load
You're rollin over to the Lowside of the road
Jezebel is naked with an axe
The prosecution tell you to relax
Your head feels like it's ready to explode
You're rollin over, you're rollin over
Well the clapper has been ripped out of the bell
The flapper has been kicked right out of hell
When the horse whips the man that he rode
You're rollin over to the Lowside of the road
The dog won't bite if you beat him with a bone
She's so shy when she's talkin on the phone
The ground rises up and starts to groan
You're rollin over to the Lowside of the road
To the Lowside of the road, to the Lowside of the road
