John Fogerty — The Old Man Down the Road

[Verse 1] He take a thunder from the mountain He take a lightnin' from the sky He bring a strong man to his beggin' knee He make the young girl's mama cry [Chorus] You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run You got to hidey-hidey-hide The old man is down the road [Verse 2] He got the voices speakin' riddle He got the eye as black as coal He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide And he stands right in the road [Chorus] You got to hidey-hide You got to jump up, run away You got to hidey-hidey-hide The old man is down the road [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He make a river call your lover He make the barkin' of the hound Put a shadow 'cross the window When the old man comes around [Chorus] You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run again You got to hidey-hidey-hide The old man is down the road The old man is down the road [Outro] Ah You got to, you got to, you got to Hidey-hidey-hide
