Moses went up to the mountain

To see what he could see

Well he come down talking 'bout a burning bush

Says 'This is how it's gonna be'

He's scared to death

You know the rest



Columbus went down to the ocean

In 1492

He said 'Boys, I'm looking for India

But America will do'

Sailed to the west

You know the rest



Davey Crockett went out to Texas

To fight at the Alamo

Old Will Travis never told him

Texas is in Mexico

It's a bloody mess

You know the rest



Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads

A guitar in his hands

Well, the devil had him a guitar, too

He says 'This is what you need man,

You can be the best'

You know the rest



Well this song ain't got no reason

Hell this song barely rhymes

Well it come to me when I was asleep

And it wakes me up sometimes

I can't get no rest

You know the rest
