Hey Jessie, where are you tonight?
Heard about a thing that's driving you wild
Looks like the big wheel is here to stay
How come it's going down this way?
Heard about a horse, all the king's men
Been dragging you down each street again
Sure getting tough to believe anything you say
How come it's going down this way?
Chorus:
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long
It ain't long
It ain't long for the day
Heard about a barricade all over the town
Heard about a place on Temple Mount
You're breaking a promise at the break of day
How come it's going down this way?
Heard about a deal between man and God
Heard about what is, and what is not
Sure is a shame the things people say
How come it's going down this way?
Chorus
It ain't long
Heard about a way to get out of this
Talk about a dual/duel what is yours, what is his
Does anybody remember was it straight
How come it's going down this way?
Chorus
