text: Im gonna get me on the ride up
  Im gonna get me
  Can I have a little more on my voice?
  Im gonna get me on the ride up
  On the top of the hill
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  New corn yellow and slaughterhouse red
  The birds keep singing, baby, after youre dead
  Im gonna miss you plenty, big old world
  With your abalone earrings and your mother of pearl
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  I need your moon to be the sky against
  Dont get your trouser button stuck on the fence
  Diego red and bedlam money are fine
  Why dont you come up here and see me sometime?
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Im only goin
  Im only goin
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Theres very little leeway
  I seen a mattress on the freeway
  The moon rises over Dog Street
  Jefferson said everythings reet
  Have all the lights burned out on heaven again?
  Ill never roll the number 7 again
  Im made of bread and Im on an ocean of wine
  I hear all the birdies on the phone just fine
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin
  Im only goin
  Im only goin to the top of the hill, hey!
  Black joke and the bean soup
  The big sky and the Ford Coupe
  Old maid and the dry bones
  Red Rover and the Skinny Bones Jones
  Forty-seven mules to pull this train
  Were getting married in the pouring rain
  You need your differential and plenty of oil
  You load the wagon till the end of the world
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin
  Im only goin
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Im only goin to the top of the hill, hey
  If I had it all to do all over again
  Id try to rise above the laws of man
  Why dont ya gimme another sip of your cup
  Turn a Rolls Royce into a chicken coop, uh huh
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin
  Im only goin
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Stop and get me on the ride up
  Im only goin to the top of the hill
