about

"I don't remember writing this one at all, but I had typed it out and kept the lyrics in a pile with the other songs I thought I'd record. The first and only time we played it is the one that's on the record." - Leif Vollebekk

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

You gotta be humble babe if you wanna find it 
You gotta stumble for a while if you wanna get behind it
You gotta run your mouth off once or twice
You gotta eavesdrop when it don’t seem right
 
You gotta run with the devil before you see it
So you can come back later just to free it
You gotta be steel-eyed and driven
You gotta be hard and unforgiven
 
You gotta run those dogs in the rain and snow
Til you turn where it is you need to go
And when you arrive you will praise it
Every hair on your arm I will raise it
 
But you’re gonna have to wait a while
But you’re gonna have to wait a while
But you’re gonna have to wait a while
