Steve Earle - You Know the Rest lyrics
[Steve Earle - You Know the Rest lyrics]
Moses went up to the mountain to
See what he could see
Well, he come down talking
About a burning bush
And says, "This is how it's going to be"
He's scared to death and you know the rest
Columbus went down to the ocean in 1492
He said, "Boys, I'm looking for India
But America will do"
Sailed to the west, you know the rest
Davy Crockett went out to Texas
To fight at the Alamo
Old Will Travis never told him
Texas was in Mexico
It's a bloody mess and you know the rest
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads
A guitar in his hand
Well, the devil had him a guitar too
He says, "This is what you need, man"
Yeah, you can be the best
And you know the rest
Well, this song ain't got no reason
Hell, this song barely rhymes!
Well, it come to me when I was asleep
And it wakes me up sometimes
I can't get no rest, you know the rest
See what he could see
Well, he come down talking
About a burning bush
And says, "This is how it's going to be"
He's scared to death and you know the rest
Columbus went down to the ocean in 1492
He said, "Boys, I'm looking for India
But America will do"
Sailed to the west, you know the rest
Davy Crockett went out to Texas
To fight at the Alamo
Old Will Travis never told him
Texas was in Mexico
It's a bloody mess and you know the rest
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads
A guitar in his hand
Well, the devil had him a guitar too
He says, "This is what you need, man"
Yeah, you can be the best
And you know the rest
Well, this song ain't got no reason
Hell, this song barely rhymes!
Well, it come to me when I was asleep
And it wakes me up sometimes
I can't get no rest, you know the rest
