lyrics

VERSE 1

WHEN YOU WERE WORKING THE LONGEST DAY
UP WITH THE LIGHT IN THE MORNING
BECAUSE GOLD AND LIGHT AND SILVER SHARE
THEIR PLACE IN THIS LIFE WITH YOUR CALLING
WELL I’M SIXTEEN YEARS AT “BROWNS & JONES”
PAID MY DUES AND PAID MY LOANS

BRIDGE

AND SOMEWHERE AROUND ON A ROAD UP AHEAD
THERE’S A LIGHT ON, THE KIDS ASLEEP UPSTAIRS IN BED
NO LONGER AFRAID OF THE WOLF AT THE DOOR
COS YOU WORKED AND YOU SWEATED FOR DOUBLE
FOR YOUR MONEY, FOR YOUR TROUBLE, YOU KNOW....

CHORUS 1

THEN YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED
YES, YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED
HIGH AND DRY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
ARE THE THANKS FOR THE BEST YEARS THEY’VE EVER KNOWN
YES, YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED

VERSE 2

CAPITULATING OUT OF THERE
YOU STRUCK FOR YOUR RIGHTS IN THE MORNING
BECAUSE GOLD AND LIGHT AND SILVER SHARE
THEIR PLACE IN THIS LIFE LIKE A WARNING
WELL YOU’RE SIXTEEN MILLION MILES FROM HOME
WHEN ALL YOU KNOW TO DO IS GONE

CHORUS 2

AND YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED
YES, YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED
HIGH AND DRY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
ARE THE THANKS FOR THE BEST YEARS THEY’VE EVER KNOWN
YES, YOU’RE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
ALL ABOARD AND DELIVERED
