Lyrics

There’s a black crow walking down the railroad tracks
I guess he got tired of flyin’
Hell if I had a pair I’d be outta here
Instead of listening to all this cryin’

Well you told him that it's always been this way
But you know that he knows you’re lyin’
But if the Lord shows no partiality
Oh that’s a fact there’s no denyin’

Well you can knock a man down but you better expect a fight
You can clip a man’s wings but you can’t take what’s inside
You can hold a man down and you tell him that it’s your right
But that ain’t right

The weight of his words and the weight of the world
Are meant to keep you from risin'
Well the things they do in this rundown town
They're gonna keep on hidin'

Well you can't sit here and you can't drink that
And you better watch what you're sayin'
But the judgement day is gonna come down soon
There's a debt they'll soon be payin'

Well you can knock a man down but you better expect a fight
You can clip a man’s wings but you can’t take what’s inside
You can hold a man down and you tell him that it’s your right
But that ain’t right

Well you can knock a man down but you better expect a fight
You can clip a man’s wings but you can’t take what’s inside
You can hold a man down and you tell him that it’s your right
But that ain’t right

Black crow, how long they been holdin' you down?
Oh black crow
It's time to get your feet, time to get your feet off the ground
Black crow, how long they been holdin' you down?
Oh black crow
It's time to get your feet, time to get your feet, time to get your feet, time to get your feet off the ground

There’s a black crow walking down the railroad tracks
