Down from the Mountain Lyrics
JR lived out in the woods all his natural born life
Ma and pa kept him working
No time to take a wife
Kept him working, work it hard boyHe couldn't take it no more
He said, Hey, I'm going away
I got a date with lady luck
Gonna see what she has to sayDown from the mountain wild in the streets
First trip to the big city
It ain't nothing but doggone pity
Looking for a little companyCleaned his truck got it all gassed up
Till it would blind you from the shine
Scrubbed himself down put his Sunday pants on
Hot damn, he was ready to rideDown from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, Hey baby, what's your name
Said, I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little companyDown from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, Hey baby, what's your name
Said, I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little companyWell, I saw the dragon lady
She was walking up to me
Said, Good God Almighty baby, Lord have mercy
What a sight she was to seeShe gave me a wink of her eye
Said, Boy, won't you come on in
She had a face that looked like an angel
But her body was built for sinDown from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, Hey baby, what's your name
Said, I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little company
