Corn liquor take me by the hand Lead me away from this land Down and out my woman ran Up and left my hands With another man as I understand I headed north of the antelope Found somewhere I can roam Settin' down lord to patch my bones Here I'll build my home Right along this river of Stone But you won't ever see me Diggin' for my Paradise And as I walk through this valley Oh I'll make no compromise In this state of mind On a trail named Gemini I watched the comets align Led by Prophets here in town With strange words spreadin' round Listen close now you can hear the sound We've been working day and night Chant to angels on high But if the earth stops spinning round We'll retreat underground When that great atomic power comes raining down But you won't ever see me Diggin' for my Paradise And as I walk through this valley Oh I'll make no compromise In this state of mind But Uncle Sam keeps lookin' my way Make provisions for the end of days All the G men on the highway They keep comin' back for me Oh but I won't ever leave But you won't ever see me Diggin' for my Paradise And as I walk through this valley Oh I'll make no compromise In this state of mind
