lyrics
LYRICS (M.Spiby)
Lay down, you gotta lay low
Lay you down, you gotta lay low
I lay awake always tossin’ and turnin’
The desert’s cool but my brain keeps burnin’
Burnin’, burnin’, burnin’
‘Til the sun rise, Til the sun rise
Don’t make your move
You gotta keep it strong
Soul brother, soul brother prove
This is your truckin’ song
Your soul brother truckin’song
Lay down, you gotta lay low
Lay you down, you gotta lay low
We share some wine help me cool my engines
I’m dancin’ ‘round all the rising tension
Tension, tension, tension
Let the sun rise
When the sun rise
You’ll make a move
Don’t break that groove
You got to keep it strong
Soulbrother, soulbrother prove
This is your truckin’ song
There’s voodoo in the melody
And now the time has come
This Soulbrother’s truckin’
Truckin’ on
Out on the crimson red horizon
With their footprints in the sand
They tried to track me down
Yeah, but I left all that trouble in town
I see the road ahead of me, and it’s alright...
To move on, to keep on truckin’
Keep on, to keep on truckin’
Ride on, ride on
Keep on truckin’ Into the light
