When you take apart a secret you need a steady hand
One eye upon the Maker, the other on your plan
Pray while you move, while you gather up the plot
You can scout the trail of some men, and some you better not
The blue sky you seek might be muddy water deep
Might be an old door locked for a reason
Take a ride little woman, letâs ride, ride, ride
Ride on down to banks of the river
Stay by my side, you gotta stay by my side
I donât know if the ferryman sees us
I donât know if he got me in his sights
Far as I know heâs a sittinâ there wonderinâ
If I be black or if I be white
Itâs a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I am
I belong to the Maker, Iâm the color of love
Given to be livinâ in no manâs land
Weâve gone all the way to wherever weâre goinâ
As long as we stay in this place
Lord knows itâs true
Iâm a figurinâ what to do
We gotta get to Cal-i-for-ni-a
While the getting is good
I can lumberjack till I break my back
Then stay home, doing nothinâ but lovinâ on you
Itâs a grand stand, grand plan, I know who I am
I belong to the Maker, Iâm the color of love
Dreaming of a leaving this no manâs land
Itâs a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I am
I belong to the Maker, Iâm the color of love
Given to be livinâ in no manâs land
Put that gun down Jack watcha doing?
I told you donât come âround here no more
Put that gun down Jack watcha doing?
We been to see the Reverend, and tied the knot
Now you donât got â a leg to stand on
Leave now, you better leave now
Leave now, better leave now
Put the gun down Jack watcha doing?
Put the gun down Jack watcha doing?
Stop in your tracks Jack, donât you move
Or Iâll beat the living hell out of you
Itâs a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I am
I'm a redbone man, with blood on his hands
Forever to be livinâ in no manâs land
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Waiting on the the voice of the Lord
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Waiting on the the voice of the Lord
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Waiting on the the voice of the Lord
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Waiting on the the voice of the Lord
