Up on Rockfield we know how to let it roll
Oh we’ve been known to let it roll ’til Saturday come and gone
Sunday come we know how and when to get holy
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Father Joe open up the Good Book come Sunday morning
He get down to preaching so the word gets known
Sounds a little like praise and a whole lot like a warning
Sending out a message
We take care of our own
If you can’t get holy
You better get peacеful
If you can’t get peaceful
You bеtter get your gun
You got no gun
Then you go with what you know
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Now, faithful people of my congregation
Close up your hymnals ’til my story’s been told
We got a circumstance in need of your contemplation
I’m sure there’s a solution
If we search our souls
There’s a man in a long, black limousine with a whole lot of money
Come grabbing up all the land like he got nowhere to go
Putting up big buildings blocking out the sun
Where the children play
And the crops all grow
If you can’t get holy
You better get peaceful, yeah
You can’t get peaceful
You better get your gun
You got no gun
Then you go with what you know
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own, yeah
Well there ain’t no sun so there ain’t no harvest
And all these gentle people got nowhere to go
You got a hammer in your truck
Come on, help make way for the daylight
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Now you know there was singing and dancing
On that Saturday evening
Lovely, lovely, lovely, like we’ve never known, oh
Ah but Sunday come we know how and when to get holy
(Yes we do)
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own
If you can’t get holy
You better get peaceful
If you can’t get peaceful
You better get your gun
Got no gun
Then you go with what you know
Up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Yeah, up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Hey yeah, up on the Rock
We take care of our own
Hey yeah, up on the Rock
(We take care of our own)
Oh yeah, now
Up on that Rock
Take care of each other
Take care of each other, yeah
Up on the Rock
Where the children play
Yeah, up on that Rock now
Up on the Rock
Mmm yeah
Father Joe know what to do, what to say
Tell me
