I'm on the rocky road Heading down off the mountain slope And as my steps echo echo, louder than before Another day is done, say goodbye to the setting sun See what I found, Turn back to the ground Just like before
And Hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day Hey hey hey hey Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day When the night feels my song I'll be home, I'll be home
Into the undergrowth, Twist and turn on a lonely road In the twilight the day turns to night And I'm alone
And when the light has let I'm not sure of my every step Follow the wind that pushes me west Back to my bed
And Hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day Hey hey hey hey Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
When the night feels my song I'll be home, I'll be home When the night feels my song I'll be home, I'll be home When the night feels my song I'll be home, I'll be home
Walking round like a ghost in the world Taking stock of the pretty, pretty girls When you drop, you hear the whole world stop Say, ?You no ready for this yet, boy!?
Pack it up, take it to your home land Watch it true to the heart of any man When you listen knock you where you stand Comes with the beat, come with heat, shaking head to the feet (Whoo!)
Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day
Bigger man says he got love for everyone Bigger man love everything under the sun Bigger man lip a trigger of a gun saying, ?Murderer! Blood upon your shoulder? (Ohh!)
Walk away don't give him a fight Walk away leave him lost in the night Walk away, walk towards your holy night And then you walk like a champion, talk like a champion
Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day
Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day
Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day
Where do you come from? You come from anywhere You come from country where, water falls free to the sea
I heard the English said You got the best of it When Raleigh washed up and found solid gold in his hands
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you know?he's only breaking the law
There was a hill coolie, and a transatlantic slave There came a day when they broke away free of their chains Now in country tempers run hot like Caribbean sun And the water flows, Gyasi when he went home
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you know?he's only breaking the law
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you know?he's only breaking the law
Don't look at me with sad eyes, tonight And can you show me, one more smile
And let the room shine through the light, oh no Under the bed is clean by daylight
But I saw a man standing on that hill Walking around like he's got no one Will I end up like him all alone? Girl, when you go I've got no soul
Where's your soul gone to? Your shadow, is coming through Where's my soul gone to? I'm a shadow, of a man
Walking down these bad streets Looking at this, where we believe To know that I can't, ever leave, no Until my footprint, wash to the sea
But I saw a man standing on that hill Walking around like he's got no one Will I end up like him all alone? Girl when you go, I've got no soul
Where's your soul gone to? Your shadow, is coming through Where's my soul gone to? I'm a shadow, of a man
And so far as I know And so far as it goes I will be yours in too long, no I will be yours in too long, no I saw a man standing on that hill Walking around like he's got no one Will I end up like him all alone? Girl when you go, I've got no soul
Where's your soul gone to? Your shadow, is coming through Where's my soul gone to? I'm a shadow, of a man
Where's my soul gone to? Where's my soul gone to? Where's my soul gone to?

Murder on the Midnight Wire Hey man you heard there's murder down on the street Lookout Police men are out on the beat Back in an alley a shot rings out a cigarette flares maybe it's a bang, blame, bang
Murder on the Midnight wire The Police said this boy is a liar Look, the gun's in his hands
It was a bang, blame, bang The public wants an answer tonight And this boy has no alibi He's a murderer on the midnight wire
Conversations just slip in the dark One block over the dogs start to bark Across the ocean the sun starts to rise With foreign eyes maybe it's a bang, blame, bang murder on the midnight wire the police say this boy is a liar Look, the guns in his hands It was a bang, blame, bang The public wants an answer tonight This boy has no alibi He's a murderer on the midnight wire
Impact runs down electric lines Heading north to the city news wire If it's in ink it's black and it's white Maybe it's a bang, blame, bang murder on the midnight wire the police say this boy is a liar Look, the guns in his hands It is a bang, blame, bang The public wants an answer tonight This boy has no alibi He's a murderer on the midnight wire
Down on the road, a shadow will fall, The crowd moves it aside to the pressure and slide Put down your roots and your rhythm in drive Valley to mountain top this rhythm never stop
Chorus: We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
Play I some music, radio Something to go low And bend in my soul Play I some music, stereo Something to go low And bend in my soul
Chorus: Play I some roots, Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
My only woman was a shadow and bone Come into my house Leave me alone But in the morning brick by brick I have grown And forget the court house Broke with the stones throw Yeah
Chorus: We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
