[Verse]
G C G
Moses pain takes your bag and head on in to the city
G C G
It looks like they could use another troubadour
G Dm C G
All the fair ladies there, they'll be begging for mercy
G Dm C G
Don't forget your chambermaid she's waiting on the seventh floor
[Verse]
G C G
They wanna show you to high cotton when you sing about slavery
G C G
They wanna sell and reproduce your golden morgues
G Dm C G
They wanna get down to the bottom of what it is that propells you
G Dm C G
They'll never know that hard luck road you've been on
[Verse]
G C G
They just remember that country doctor with the twitching eyelids
G C G
The one who showed you, Moses, how you where gonna get to heaven
G Dm C G
One who brought you your mothers world just to scrap it and sing it
G Dm C G
And the one who you will meet, Moses, when you make a bad call
[Verse]
G C G
One made you see that maiden in the doorway
G C G
She was summoning you to travel on loves sweet two lane highway
G Dm C G
Just remember the art of war and them affairs down in Eden
G Dm C G
Don't become the type of person that you told me you would never become
[Verse]
G C G
And there in the paradise when you put your pin to the page
G C G
And beauty never knew the world until you came of age
G Dm C G
There clowns whispering if thunder whispering with rain
G Dm C
Keep writing those sweet rugged melodies of love
C G C G
If Moses' allright the legend of pain
[Outro]
G C G
Keep on riding X 7
