Lyrics[]
Gotta keep moving, gotta keep moving Blues falling down like hail Gotta keep moving Blues falling down like hail And the daylight keeps moving (??) There's a hellhound on my trail If today were Christmas evening And tomorrow Christmas day If today were Christmas evening And tomorrow Christmas day All I would need is but a little sweet rider And the world would fade away Gotta keep moving, gotta keep moving Blues falling down like hail Gotta keep moving Blues falling down like hail And the daylight keeps to worrying There's a hellhound on my trail
