You Know The Rest — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Moses went up to the mountain

To see what he could see

Well he come down talking bout a burning bush

Says this is how its gonna be

Hes scared to death

You know the rest



Columbus went down to the ocean

In 1492

He said boys, Im looking for india

But america will do

Sailed to the west

You know the rest



Davey crockett went out to texas

To fight at the alamo

Old will travis never told him

Texas is in mexico

Its a bloody mess

You know the rest



Robert johnson went down to the crossroads

A guitar in his hands

Well, the devil had him a guitar, too

He says this is what you need man,

You can be the best

You know the rest



Well this song aint got no reason

Hell this song barely rhymes

Well it come to me when I was asleep

And it wakes me up sometimes

I cant get no rest

You know the rest
