Lyrics Downward Road - Mavis Staples
The
world
out
there
is
like
a
hornets′
nest
It
draws
the
life
out
of
the
good
and
feeds
their
blood
to
the
rest
You'll
be
a
memory
soon
baby,
and
so
will
I
So
kiss
me
open-mouthed,
′cause
we're
too
young
to
die
[Chorus]
We're
on
the
downroad
road
We′re
on
the
downroad
road
We′re
on
the
downroad
road
Crawling
towareds
the
bitter
end
Things
are
going
fine
now,
but
your
luck
could
change
You
could
find
yourself
the
victim
of
someone's
unholy
rage
So
put
your
pretty
lips
where
they
can
do
some
good
You
might
think
that
you
shouldn′t
But
I
really
wish
you
would
[Chorus]
Yeah
we're
so
close
now,
I′m
in
as
deep
as
I'll
get
Your
hair
is
soaked,
your
skin
is
slippery
wet
The
world
outside
our
window
is
about
to
explode
Well,
so
am
I
sugar,
so
baby
save
my
soul
[Chorus]
