The Doobie Brothers - Jericho lyrics

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
