Beat It On Down The Line (06-09-1973 RFK Stadium, Washington, DC) Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Well, this job I′ve got is just a little too hard
I'm running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
I′m gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line

Going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Yes, I′m going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Well, huh, well now, I′ll beat it on down the line

Guessin' I′ll be waitin'
At thе station, Lord, when that train pulls on by, by
I′m going back where I bеlong
Yes, and I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Yes, and down in Joe Brown′s coal mine


Said coal mine (coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (coal mine)
Said coal mine (coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine, well now
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine

Yes, I'm going back to that shack, way across the railroad track
Uh-huh, that′s where I think I belong
Yes, and I, got a sweet woman, Lord, she′s waiting there for me
Well, that's where I′m gonna make my happy home

I said happy home (happy home)
Whoa, happy home (happy home)
Said happy home (happy home)
Said a happy
Said a happy, happy, happy, happy home (happy home)
Yeah, happy home (happy home)
Happy home, well now
That's where I′m gonna make my happy home
