(On The Down Side, Baby, I’ll Be) Pickin Up Speed Again
C 1978 Jack Murray
I got her down off the blocks and back on the road now
Been a long time comin but I’m ready to go now
Now it ain’t easy getting over this mountain, my friend
But on the down side, Baby, I’ll be pickin up speed again
Hittin speed traps, road-blocks and every little town now
If they won’t let me through –gonna just go around now
But I know I can make it up over that mountain -cause I done it before, my friend
And on the down side, Baby, I’ll be pickin up speed again
Well now that we’re rollin, I’m gonna keep going, Honey, come on along with me
Come on if you’re comin, Baby do what you wanna –but I sure love your company
We gotta take it easy on the up side, Baby –but I got everything we need
But on the down side, Baby, we’ll be pickin up speed…
Now the su’s gone down but the moon is so bright now
And, yes, you’re sure looking pretty tonight now
Might have to pull on over –cause I got a thing or two I’d love to do with you, my friend
But on the down side, Baby, we’ll be pickin up speed again
