He been walkin' cross town Shirt tail in the wind Old crow flyin' around in his head Wears a half crazy grin Rock n roll Drivin' wheel Down from the valley and up from the hill Bull frog hollered from a river bank Wild dog howlin' in the pines Rock train comin' cross the cain creek trestle Slow enough to catch a ride 2 am in the mornin' He done pissed off all his friends He come knockin' on bessie's door She's the only one who'll let him in Rock n roll Drivin' wheel Down from the valley and up from the hill Rock n roll Drivin' wheel Down from the valley and up from the hill He been walkin' cross town To the church out by the track Got a copperhead in a burlap bag And a six string on his back Tambourines a-janglin' Hobnails stompin' time His faith is stronger than a rattlesnake bite But he won't touch strychnine Rock n roll Drivin' wheel Down from the valley and up from the hill Rock n roll Drivin' wheel Down from the valley and up from the hill Down from the valley and up from the hill
