Rise When the Rooster Crows - Shoulders Nick Lyrics

Shoulders Nick CHORDS

Rise When the Rooster Crows

[Verse ]
High tide’s turn at the break of day
I’d leave the ledge just to get away
You call it splinter, I call it pain
I’m limping back to the land of rain

[Chorus]
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’m going back south where the sun shines hot
Oh, down where the river cane grows

[Verse 2]
If you go west, don’t go for long
You’ll live out homesick country songs
Trees and air and my kinder riches
I’ll do my best to keep it ‘tween the ditches

[Chorus]
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’ll rise when thе rooster crows
I’m going back south where thе sun shines hot
Oh, down where the river cane grows

[Verse 3]
When Gabriel comes to blow his horn
Will the scarlet banner and lance be torn? Oh, Lord
Prepare yourself and try to get away
For you can’t eat money and buy your fate

[Chorus]
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’m going back south where the sun shines hot
Oh, down where the river cane grows

[Chorus]
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’ll rise when the rooster crows
I’m going back south where the sun shines hot
Oh, down where the river cane grows
