Lyrics to A Dave Sharp Song, not yet recorded

Driving Hard Rain (inspired by Woody Guthrie) (May 1991)
-----------------------

Driving hard rain driving hard to this ground
I'm 5 dollars short in your 2 dollar town
Train keeps on rolling, aint never broke down
It gets me to wonderin' to where am I bound

I sometimes get lost
And I sometimes get found
It's a mighty hard road 
To be travellin' down

The waters, they rising so wide they may be
Done raised a white light in the starry eyed east
I followed so faithful footsteps so it seems
Now I'm burning these streets with this singing machine

Now wall ever too high
Will get me to ground
It's a mighty hard road 
To be travellin' down

They fleece the poor slowly, and pay the rich quick
They tax my religion, now, hey, that is sick
They whore-house is falling for want of a brick
It sure is getting some good people licked

You better watch good
as your time comes around
It's a mighty hard road 
To be travellin' down

Now the Lord only knows how this town's going broke
Gotta raise me some income, I'd kill for a smoke
There's a new kind of sickness down here in the street
That's hanging around in the air that I breathe

There should be a warning sign
Here in the ground
It's a mighty hard road
To be travellin's down


It's a mighty hard road
To be travellin's down

It's a mighty hard road
To be travellin's down

It's a mighty hard road
To be travellin's down
