Lyrics for Song: Deep In The Motherlode
Lyrics for Album: ...And Then There Were Three... [1978]
Get out of the way fat man, you got something to do
Go fill up your hands till they're shining back at you
Well you gotta get out while there's gold in the air
It's falling like water, coming down from the hills.
Go West young man
Earn a dollar a day just like your family said
You're rolling the days right into the night
You're head of the line always going way down out of sight
Go West young man, like your family said.
All along the wagons, all along the dusty trail
Seventeen years not over a day like children in the wild
Your mamma's milk still wet on your face
And no one wants to pray for your safe journey home
Out beyond the desert, across the Mountain by the fall
Servants who leave their masters house are all walking all the way
Golden fields that beckoned you
Are darkened by the years.
Go West young man
Ah, well if you knew then, just what you know today
You'd be back where you started a happier man
And leave all the glory to all those who have remained.
Go West young man
Go West young man, like your family said.
