Black Bottom Road Lyrics - Van Zant

In the part of town 

You don't wanna be found 

Everybody knows better when the sun goes down 

As the fog rolls in 

You never know where you've been 

Cross that line to another world 

Black Bottom Road 

There's only one way in and one way out you know 

Black Bottom Road 

Well this black is cold and black is hell 

You know you're there when you smell that smell 

It goes on and on and on 

Black Bottom Road 

Ya! 

Once you step outside 

You hardly know you're alive 

Welcome to the devil's dance, Lord you've made his day 

Along side of the road 

Oh it's a river that flows 

It's full of rocks and bones and blood 

And now your fears 

And it goes nowhere, there ain't no size 

Never see anybody pass by 

Better hold on with all your life 

All your life 

Black Bottom Road 

There's only one way in and one way out you know 

Black Bottom Road 

Well this black is cold and black is hell 

You know you're there when you smell that smell 

It goes on and on and on 

Black Bottom Road 

It Goes On and On! 

And it goes nowhere, there ain't no size 

Never see anybody pass by 

Better hold on with all your life 

All your life 

Black Bottom Road 

There's only one way in and one way out you know 

Black Bottom Road 

Well this black is cold and dark is hell 

You know you're there when you smell that smell 

It goes on and on and on 

Black Bottom Road 

Black Bottom Road 

Black Bottom Road 

It goes on and on 

Black Bottom Road 

Goes on and on! 

Black Bottom Road 

Well this black is cold and dark is hell 

You know you're there when you smell that smell 

Black Bottom Road 

Oh, Goes on and on! 

Black Bottom Road 

'Cause time is hell 

Black Bottom Road 

Black Bottom Road 

Black Bottom Road
