Guardian Album: Miracle Mile Track: Dr. Jones and The Kings of Rhythm
Dr. Jones and The Kings of Rhythm Lyrics
Words & Music by David Bach Jamie Rowe and Tony Palacios
There's a place outside of Memphis Where I met the travelin' man Preachin' on a wall of sound Built by his ragin' band I saw a sparklein his eye When I asked him for his name He said Dr. Jones is who I am Are You ready to play my game I can take you to the mountain But only heavens love can set you free
Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm Dr. Jones He's a rhythm king Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm Tearin' darkness down with a ragin' swing
Townsfolk wouldn't hear the Doc And they drove him Out Of town He'd shake the dust right off his feet And leave without a sound But you know he spoke the truth to me Gave me reason to believe Tell it round the whole wide world I'll I never be the same Well he took me to the mountain But it was heaven's love that set me free
And he wonders if each trial Is really worth each dusty mile Every night He dreams right through the pain He smiles He knows he labors not in vain
