Verse One
You can’t build a road to Jericho
With just a hammer and a nail
You better not go down to Mexico
If you can’t swing the bail
Got the best of intentions caught with a guilty hand
Knee deep in hot water a slave to your own demands
Gonna ride out the storm live to fight another day
If I’d known it would take this long I’d been better off comin’ to stay

Verse Two
I don’t need to go to Hollywood
To know I can’t live there
Macon, Georgia would do me good
If I need to get somewhere
The sunny side of the South never has done me wrong
Always a place down there for me to find my song
I don’t need thousand lost souls to know how lucky I am
I can live off the fat of the land and the blood of the lamb

Chorus
Sign up for the deal don’t you be just another meal
For the fire breathin’ dragon
You lost your appeal tellin’ how it feels
Falling on and off the wagon
Gonna make you a big wheel, son
This time it’s for real, son
This is the only way it’s gonna happen

Verse Three
I don’t need a million dollars to know to throw money away
I’ve seen the leaders follow the fools out to play
When your tongue-tied emotion all comes apart at the seams
You’re left holding a bag full of your broken dreams
Call out to the witch doctor but he’s gonna running late
Too bad you made your living out of tempting your fate

Chorus

Bridge
You spend your time with melody and rhyme working out here in Eden
Everyone say it’s not beggar’s pay
You’re just learning how to break even

Verse Four
I don’t need to be a rock star to know how to paint the town
I don’t need no fast car to lay my woman down
Gonna leave with a bang give ‘em all a story to tell
Just like the children when the walls of Jericho fell
Gonna move the mountains, stand where to man stood
Better luck on down the trail when you’re up to no good
Chorus
