Uphill Mountain letra

Big Joe Turner, Elmore James
Street survivor selling walking canes
"Give your babies holy names for me"
I don't know, but I've been told
You never grow up and you'll never get old
You can watch the world being bought and sold
All on your T.V.

Sometimes it gets a little rough
Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain
Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
And if you're gonna fall, well you might as well fall

Build a house, honey make it home
Gonna make a place man where I can be alone
Don't the yard look pretty when i'ts overgrown?
Standing six feet tall

This ain't a right but it's a living
You've got to take just what you are given
'Cause luck only matters with the cards and the women
And sometimes not at all

Sometimes it gets a little rough
Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain
Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
And if you're gonna fall well you might as well fall

Peeping tom said to Madame Rose
"I've seen you twice already without your clothes,
What I suggest, honey what I propose
Is that you see me without mine"

Tell John Henry and Cassius Clay
Swinging iron for a living is one hell of a way
But whatever you do, don't let your hammer stray
I believe we'll be just fine

Sometimes it gets a little rough
Like the wheels made of steel going an uphill mountain
Better stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
And if you're gonna crawl well you might as well crawl
Yes, you might as well crawl
