Beat It On Down the Line Live at The Spectrum Philadelphia September 21 1972
[Verse 1]
Well, this job I've got is just a little too hard
I'm running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
I'm gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line

[Chorus 1]
I'm going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Yes, going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Hey, I'm gonna beat it on down the line

[Verse 2]
Listen, I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by
I'm going back where I belong
Baby, I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Hey, said down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Chorus 2]
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (Coal mine)
Said coal mine (Coal mine)
Yeah, coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (Coal mine)
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm going back to that shack way across the railroad track
Hey, that's where I think I belong
Yes, got a sweet woman, Lord, yeah, who's waiting there for me
Hey, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home

[Outro]
Said happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, happy home (Happy home)
Said happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy, a happy, happy, happy home (Happy home)
Hey, hey, hey hey (Happy home)
Happy home, now, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
