Jericho lyrics

Tom Johnston
Windecor Music (BMI)

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho.
And my throat is hot and dusty,
Down to the water I must go.
Catherine the Great and brave Ulysses
Playin` checkers out in the sun.
Jesse James and young William Bonnie
Have started a religion for everyone.

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho.
And my throat is hot and dusty,
Down to the water I must go.

Well the drums they are loud down in rap town,
But the Pope has been quiet for days.
Well some gunmen robbed a bank in California
And the cops blew them all away.

If you don`t like the picture don`t turn it off.
The only way to change it is to do it yourself.

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho.
And my throat is hot and dusty,
Down to the water I must go.

Peace and love on the wings of a dove
Has flown away.
We`re payin` the rent
On the blood that`s been spent,
On a mortgage that`s too high to be paid.

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho.
And my throat is hot and dusty,
Down to the water I must go.

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho.
And my throat is hot and dusty,
Down to the water I must go.
