Lyrics
Going down, going down
Gonna find another way
Going down, going down
As my old man would say
"You gotta shake that ball and chain
You gotta turn the wheels and go"
Going down, going down
Gonna hear the music play
Gonna leave it on the floor
Gonna dance these blues away
But when the good old boys start picking
They're gonna turn the night into the day
Going down to the Rockdale
Gonna lay it all down for you
Leave your coat at the hotel
We'll be hanging in the old bar room
Lock the door, feed the hounds
Gonna be at least a day or two
Grab the bottle, make my rounds
Till there's nothing left to do
Glass jar with the money
Honey, how 'bout dancing shoes?
Going down to the Rockdale
Gonna lay it all down for you
Leave your coat at the hotel
We'll be hanging in the old bar room
Going down to the Rockdale
Gonna lay it all down for you
Leave your coat at the hotel
We'll be hanging in the old bar room
I don't know if we'll ever go home again
The open road's got me thinking like a different man
Fifteen miles to the places we might go
So I'll lend my ears to the wind
Going down to the Rockdale
Gonna lay it all down for you
Leave your coat at the hotel
We'll be hanging in the old bar room
Going down to the Rockdale
Gonna lay it all down for you
One night to live for
And the sun'll be rising soon
