Guardian - Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm lyrics

rate me

There's a place outside of Memphis

where I met the travelin' man

Preachin' on a wall of sound

built by his ragin' band

I saw a sparkle in his eye

when I asked him for his name

He said Dr. Jones is who I am

are you ready to play my game

I can take you to the mountain

but only heavens love can set you free

Dr. Jones & The Kings of Rhythm

Dr. Jones he's a rhythm king

Dr. Jones & The Kings of Rthythm

Tearin' darkness down with a ragin' swing

Townsfolk wouldn't hear the Doc

and they drove him out of town

He'd shake the dust right off his feet

and leave without a sound

But you know he spoke the truth to me

gave me reason to believe

Tell it round the whole wide world

I'll never be the same

Well he took me to the mountain

but it was heavens love that set me free

And he wonders if each trial

is really worth each dusty mile

Every night

he dreams right through the pain

He smiles

he knows he labors not in vain
