Van Zant - Black Bottom Road lyrics

rate me

In the part of town

You don't wanna be found

Everybody knows better when the sun goes down

As the fog rolls in

You never know where you've been

Cross that line to another world

Black Bottom Road

There's only one way in and one way out you know

Black Bottom Road

Well this black is cold and black is hell

You know you're there when you smell that smell

It goes on and on and on

Black Bottom Road

Ya!

Once you step outside

You hardly know you're alive

Welcome to the devil's dance, Lord you've made his day

Along side of the road

Oh it's a river that flows

It's full of rocks and bones and blood

And now your fears

And it goes nowhere, there ain't no size

Never see anybody pass by

Better hold on with all your life

All your life

Black Bottom Road

There's only one way in and one way out you know

Black Bottom Road

Well this black is cold and black is hell

You know you're there when you smell that smell

It goes on and on and on

Black Bottom Road

It Goes On and On!

And it goes nowhere, there ain't no size

Never see anybody pass by

Better hold on with all your life

All your life

Black Bottom Road

There's only one way in and one way out you know

Black Bottom Road

Well this black is cold and dark is hell

You know you're there when you smell that smell

It goes on and on and on

Black Bottom Road

Black Bottom Road

Black Bottom Road

It goes on and on

Black Bottom Road

Goes on and on!

Black Bottom Road

Well this black is cold and dark is hell

You know you're there when you smell that smell

Black Bottom Road

Oh, Goes on and on!

Black Bottom Road

'Cause time is hell

Black Bottom Road

Black Bottom Road

Black Bottom Road
