Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please, don't dominate the rap, Jack
If you've got nothing new to say
If you please, don't back up the track
This train's got to run today
[Verse 2]
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I heard some say, "Better run away"
Others say, "Better stand still"
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't know, I been told
Well, it's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand, I've heard it said
Well, it's just as hard with the weight of lead
[Verse 4]
Well, who can deny, who can deny
Well, it's not just a change in style
One step done, and the other begun
And I wonder how many miles
[Verse 5]
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
Well, I guess you're telling will win
[Verse 6]
I don't know, I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Keep on coming, or stand and wait
With the sun so hot, and the hour so late
[Verse 7]
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another
[Verse 8]
Well you can overlook the lack, Jack
Or any other highway to ride
Got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide
[Verse 9]
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
Well, I guess they always will
[Verse 10]
I don't know, but I been told
If that horse won't pull, you've got to carry that load
I don't know who's back's that strong
Maybe find out before too long
[Verse 11]
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another, this darkness got to give
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another, this darkness got to give
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another, this darkness got to give
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another, this darkness got to give
Well, this darkness got to give
This darkness got to give
Well, this darkness got to give
This darkness got to give
Well, this darkness got to give
This darkness got to give
This darkness got to give
Darkness got to give
Well, this darkness got to give
Darkness got to give
Got to give
Got to give
Got to give
Darkness got to give
Darkness got to give
Well, this darkness got to give
This darkness got to give
Oh, this darkness got to give
Oh, this darkness got to give
Oh, this darkness got to give
Darkness got to give
One way or another, one way or another
One way or another, one way or another
