lyrics

Chorus
Along the way, the band will play.
Get on the way, there ain't no hesitation.
Along the way, the band will say.
Get on the way, there ain't no hesitation again.

Get along dirt farmer
electric in the ground.
Used to have friends but they found an end,
oh used to play it so loud.

Oh, it's an old drink of water
pullin' it up from the mud.
After the rain all the dirt grows again
then it is dried up and gone.

Chorus

Crunch them eyes dirt farmer.
Neck to the side for the sound.
Take any rhyme for the next two lines
then try to turn it around
from the rain all the dirt feels the sun,
then it is dried up and gone...

Hesitation... is riding along.
I got no patience... the doctors are wrong.
Hesitation... woven and knitted so low it can last so long.

Chorus

Grip them sticks and wonder.
Head there upside down.
Take any rhyme for the next two lines
then try to turn it around
from the rain all the dirt feels the sun
then it is dried up and gone
like the friends who all found an end,
oh used to play it so loud
rhymin' them last two sounds,
yeah, just to turn it around.
Chorus/End
