Top of the Hill

Stop and get me on the ride up (uh-huh-huh)

To the top ...

(Can we have a little more on my voice?)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

On the top of the hill

I'm only going to the top of the hill

New corn yellow and slaughterhouse red

The birds keep singin' baby after you're dead

I'm gonna miss you plenty big ol' world

With your abalone earrings

And your mother of pearl (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

I need your moon to be the sky 'gainst

Don't get your trouser button stuck on the fence

Diego red and bedlam money are fine

Why don't you come up and see me sometime?

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

There's very little leeway

I seen the mattress on the freeway

The moon rises over Dog Street

Jefferson says now everythings reet

Have all the lights burned out on Heaven again?

I'll never roll the number seven again

I'm made of bread and on a ocean of wine

Hear all the birdies on the phone just fine (Huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill (Hey!)

Black joke and the bean soup

Big sky and the Ford Coupe

Old maid and the dry bones

Red rover and the Skinny Bones Jones

Forty - seven mules to pull this train

We're gettin' married in the pouring rain

You need your differential, plenty of oil

You load the wagon 'til the end of the world (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Hey!)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

I'm only goin to the top of the hill (Hey!)

What's your throttle made of

Is it money or bone?

Don't dawdle or you'll never get home

Opium, fireworks, vodka and meat

Scoot over and save me a seat (Hey!)

Stop and get me on the ride up (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

Stop

And get me on the ride up

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill (Hey!)

If I had it all to do over again

I'd try to rise above the laws of man

Why doncha gimme 'nother sip o' your cup?

Turn a Rolls - Royce into a chicken coup (Uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

Stop and get me on the ride up (Hey!)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin'

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

Hey!

Stop and get me on the ride up (uh-huh-huh)

Stop and get me on the ride up

I'm only goin' to the top of the hill

Ha ha ha ha haa!
