New Speedway Boogie (feat. Jim Lauderdale) Lyrics


Please don't dominate the rap, Jack
If you've got nothing new to say
If you please, don't back up the track
This train's got to run todayI spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I heard someone say, "Better run away"
Others say, "Better stand still"Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I have heard it said
It's just as hard with the weight of leadWho can deny, who can deny
It's not just a change in style?
One step down and another begun
And I wonder how many milesI spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
But I think in time we willNow I don't know but I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Keep on coming or stand and wait

With the sun so dark and the hour so lateYou can't overlook the lack, Jack
Of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rule to guideI spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always willNow, I don't know but I been told
If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load
I don't know whose back's that strong
Maybe find out before too longOne way or another, one way or another
One way or another, this darkness got to give

Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn.

According to the Walking In Memphis Songfacts, Cohn was discovered by Carly Simon in the mid-'80s when he was with a 14-piece band called The Supreme Court. Atlantic Records signed him in 1989, but the first attempts to record his debut album with Tracy Chapman 's producer David Kerschenbaum failed. Ten months later, he tried again, producing the set himself with help from the little-known Ben Wisch, who had helped him with his demos. Finally released in 1991 when Cohn was 31 years old, his self-titled debut album was a huge hit, thanks to the massive success of "Walking In Memphis." Cohn won the 1991 Grammy for Best New Artist award, beating out both Boyz II Men and Seal and Seal. Cohn never matched the chart success of this song, but like his musical heroes Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne , he remained a critical and artistic success as a songwriter and performer.

He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour.

He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn.

Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage.

On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled.

Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
