he been walkin' cross town
shirt tail in the wind
old crow flyin' around in his head
wears a half crazy grin
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
bull frog hollered from a river bank
wild dog howlin' in the pines
rock train comin' cross the cain creek trestle
slow enough to catch a ride
2 am in the mornin'
he done pissed off all his friends
he come knockin' on bessie's door
she's the only one who'll let him in
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
he been walkin' cross town
to the church out by the track
got a copperhead in a burlap bag
and a six string on his back
tambourines a-janglin'
hobnails stompin' time
his faith is stronger than a rattlesnake bite
but he won't touch strychnine
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
rock n roll
drivin' wheel
down from the valley and up from the hill
down from the valley and up from the hill
