C'mon, Winston, we still got a long way to go.
Stuck behind these bars and the gusty wind's starting to blow.
God Hisself is pushin' but we hold the line.
Don't know where we're going but we're makin' good time.
Stuck behind these bars and we still got a long way to go.

This road looks like it goes there, and it looks like we're tryin'.
Lady Death is tailin' me: I think I can shake her
I'd like to change my shorts before I meet with my Maker
There are things we shouldn't know, but they still won't stop us from Dying.

Stay between the lines to the point where it's plain and it bores us.
Safe behind a screen, but I think I would rather
Face the rogues of hell; wait! it looks like they've gathered
Lash me to the mast, the Sirens are reaching their chorus

I'm burning Lodi bound
I'm screaming toward that town
I'm dropping markers, dropping anchors
dropping hammers down
