lirik lagu bruce guthro - ivey’s wall
[chorus]
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
life was just as simple as god planned it
[verse 1]
stella poured a cup of coffee, said, “i’ll take this on the road
see ya later ivey, your supper’s on the stove
i’m goin’ uptown, don’t you be out all night
say h~llo to amby for me and leave the kitchen light on.”
[verse 2]
now ivey was a little man who left a giant trail
with a pocket full of change for the kids the world had failed
he lived by pride and principle, he was a blue collar man
he’d take the shirt right off his back and give it to a friend
[chorus]
and down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
life was just as simple as god planned it
and if it wasn’t, then ivey would demand it
[verse 3]
and i still hear him say
“you men who hold the power, you mostly live in fear
i guess that’s why you say exactly what we want to hear
or maybe you’re just puppets, just victims of the game
but it’s [?] these men with their hungry kids
and they don’t feel much like playin’.”
[chorus]
oh, and down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
life was just as simple as god planned it
oh, and if it wasn’t, then ivey would demand it
[bridge]
then one morning, ivey silently slipped away
the boys down on the wall were quiet that day
some men go down tellin’ stories
of how they rode their trains to glory
other men just close their eyes and
know they did the best they could with what they had
[chorus]
oh, down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
life was all so simple
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
down on ivey’s wall
life was just as simple as god planned it
