Moses went up to the mountain to see what he could see
Well, he come down talking about a burning bush
And says, "This is how it's going to be"
He's scared to death and you know the rest

Columbus went down to the ocean in 1492
He said, "Boys, I'm looking for India, but America will do"
Sailed to the west, you know the rest

Davy Crockett went out to Texas to fight at the Alamo
Old Will Travis never told him Texas was in Mexico
It's a bloody mess and you know the rest

Robert Johnson went to the crossroads, a guitar in his hand
Well, the devil had him a guitar too
He says, "This is what you need, man"
Yeah, you can be the best and you know the rest

Well, this song ain't got no reason
Hell, this song barely rhymes!
Well, it come to me when I was asleep
And it wakes me up sometimes
I can't get no rest, you know the rest
