Lyrics The Old Man Down The Road - Live 1997 - John Fogerty

He take a thunder from the mountain
He take a lightning from the sky
He bring a strong man to his begging knee
He make the young girl's mama cry

You got to hide, hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hide, hide, hide
The old man is down the road

He makes the voices speak and riddle
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stay right in the road

You got to hide, hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hide, hide, hide
The old man is down the road

He make the river call you lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross the window
When the old man comes around

You got to hide, hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hide, hide, hide
The old man is down the road
The old man is down the road
