Hey Jessie
Where are you tonight
Heard about a thing
That's
Driving you wild
Looks like the big wheel
Is here to stay
How come
It's going down this way

Heard about a horse
All the king's men
Been dragging you down
Each street again
Sure getting though
To believe anything you say
How come
It's going down this way

It ain't long for the day
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long
It ain't long
It ain't long for the day

Heard about a barricade
All over the town
Heard about a place
On Temple Mount
You're breaking promise
At the break of day
How come
It's going down this way

Heard about a deal
Between man and God
Heard about what is
And what is not
Sure is a shame
The things people say
How come
It's going down this way

It ain't long for the day
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long
It ain't long
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long

Heard about a way
To get out of this
Talk about a dual
What is yours
What is his
Does anybody remember
Was it straight
How come
It's going down this way

It ain't long for the day
It ain't long for the day
It ain't long
It ain't long
It ain't long for the day
