Words and Music by Ron Davies



I got something hard on my mind

I got something hard against my mind

I got a gold mine down in my pocket

And you can have all that you can find

I've got some crazy business on my mind

I need something a little more just to raise my stake

I need something more to raise my stake 'cause she's more than

Any man can ever hope to take

Something more to keep it straight

Goin' down to the corner and find myself a bar

I'm goin' down to the corner I'm gonna lean up against a bar

Gonna sing with the children 'bout the way things really are

Goin' down to the river down to the water wide

Goin' down to the river I'm gonna lay down with my guitar

Gonna sing with the children 'bout the way things really are
