Bruce Guthro - Ivey's Wall songtekst
Je score:
Stella poured a cup of coffee, said "I'll take this on the road See ya later Ivey, your supper's on the stove I'm goin' uptown - don't you be out all night Say hello to Amby for me and leave the kitchen light on..." Now Ivey was a little man who left a giant trail With a pocket full of change for the kids the world had failed He lived by pride and principle, he was a blue collar man He'd take the shirt right off his back and give it to a friend Chorus: And down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall Life was just as simple as God planned it And if it wasn't, then Ivey would demand it And I still hear him say, "you men who hold the power You mostly live in fear... I guess that's why you say exactly what we want to hear Or maybe you're just puppets, just victims of the game Well for one, it's these men with hungry kids, and man, they don't feel much like playin'" Chorus: And down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall Life was just as simple as God planned it And if it wasn't, then Ivey would demand it Then one morning, Ivey silently slipped away The boys down on the wall were quiet that day Some men go down tellin' stories of how they rode their trains to glory Other men just close their eyes and know they did the best they could With what they had Chorus: (x 2) And down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall Life was just as simple as God planned it And if it wasn't, then Ivey would demand it And down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall, down on Ivey's Wall Life was just as simple as God planned it And if it wasn't, then Ivey would demand it
