Downward Road Lyrics - You Are Not Alone - Mavis Staples

The world out there is like a hornets' nest 

It draws the life out of the good and feeds their blood to the rest 

You'll be a memory soon baby, and so will I 

So kiss me open-mouthed, 'cause we're too young to die 

[Chorus] 

We're on the downroad road 

We're on the downroad road 

We're on the downroad road 

Crawling towareds the bitter end

Things are going fine now, but your luck could change 

You could find yourself the victim of someone's unholy rage 

So put your pretty lips where they can do some good 

You might think that you shouldn't 

But I really wish you would 

[Chorus] 

Photos 

Yeah we're so close now, I'm in as deep as I'll get 

Your hair is soaked, your skin is slippery wet 

The world outside our window is about to explode 

Well, so am I sugar, so baby save my soul 

[Chorus]
