Van Zant – Black Bottom Road lyrics

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
