Jordan am a Hard Road to Travel

by The Avett Brothers

Lyrics
Well, I'm going to sing you a brand new song
It's all the truth for certain
We can't get high, but we can get by
And get on the other side of Jordan

Put on your overcoat and roll up your sleeve
Jordan is a hard road to travel
Put on your overcoat and roll up your sleeve
Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe
Well, I don't know but I believe I'm right
The auto ruined the country
Let's go back to the horse and cart
And try to save some money

Well, I know a man, he's a Vangelis
Tabernacle's always full
People come from miles around
Just to hear him shoot the bull

Well, public schools and your highways
Are raising quite the alarm
Get a country man educated just a little
And he ain't gonna work on the farm

You can talk about your Vangelis
You can talk about Mr. Ford too
Well, Henry, shake you more hell out of Ford
Than a Vangelis ever did
