Steve Earle You Know The Rest
Moses went up to the mountain
To see what he could see
Well, he come down talkin' 'bout a burnin' bush
Says, "This is how it's gonna be"
He's scared to death
An' you know the rest
Columbus went down to the ocean in 1492
He said, "Boys, I'm lookin' for India
But America will do"
Sailed to the west
You know the rest
Davy Crockett went out to Texas
To fight at the Alamo
Old Will Travis never told him
Texas is in Mexico
It's a bloody mess
An' you know the rest
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads
A guitar in his hand
Well, the devil had him a guitar too
He says, "This is what you need man"
Yeah, you can be the best
An' you know the rest
Well, this song ain't got no reason
Hell, this song barely rhymes!
Well, it come to me when I was asleep
And it wakes me up sometimes
I can't get no rest
You know the rest
