Jericho - The Doobie Brothers

Well I’m standin' on top of the mountain

Just about a mile from Jericho

And my throat is hot and dusty

Down to the water I must go

Catherine the Great and brave Ulysses

Playin' checkers out in the sun

Jesse James and young William Bonnie

Have started a religion for everyone

Well I’m standin' on top of the mountain

Just about a mile from Jericho

And my throat is hot and dusty

Down to the water I must go

Well the drums they are loud down in rap town

But the Pope has been quiet for days

Well some gunmen robbed a bank in California

And the cops blew them all away

If you don’t like the picture don’t turn it off

The only way to change it is to do it yourself

Well I’m standin' on top of the mountain

Just about a mile from Jericho

And my throat is hot and dusty

Down to the water I must go

Peace and love on the wings of a dove

Has flown away

We’re payin' the rent

On the blood that’s been spent

On a mortgage that’s too high to be paid

Well I’m standin' on top of the mountain

Just about a mile from Jericho

And my throat is hot and dusty

Down to the water I must go

Well I’m standin' on top of the mountain

Just about a mile from Jericho

And my throat is hot and dusty

Down to the water I must go
