John Henry's Hammer

I left Silverton City with a Grizzly on my back
A one eyed desperado and a two eyed double Jack
Been on the winning side of losing
Ever since I can remember
Swinging John Henry's Hammer thinking I'm gonna sink a nail
There's an easy road to walk but I will never find that trail
The Band plays Annie but Im still carrying a load
I hope I find you someday further on up down the road

Cause I'll sell it to a beggar and I'll sell it to a queen
I sell it to that grizzly just you wait and see
You know the Gold Rush it ended back in 1989
Singing welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle babe
From the rhinestone streets of Nashville to the beaches of LA
The Brothers play Melissa like a gypsy coast to coast
And I hope I find you someday further on up down the road

And The Brothers play Melissa like a gypsy coast to coast
And I hope I find you someday further on up down the road

So I'm standing at the Crossroads with the Devil sayin' friend
Won't you get on down the line cause I'm a gonna find you in the end
Been on the right side of the Bible but the wrong side of revival
Swinging John Henry's Hammer thinking I'm gonna lay a track
There's a slow train a coming but a Jet plane going back
See the one eyed desperado
Taking It Easy taking it slow
And the sound of my own wheels
Drive my crazy I know

Hey I know I'll find you someday further on up down the road
