• Lyrics

Verse:
I come from atop the mountain baby
Where the people come to pray
I come from atop the mountain baby
Where the people come to pray
Ain't no truth in action
Less you believe any way

Chorus:
I was riding down the road one day
Someone hit a possum
I was riding down the road one day
Someone hit a possum
The road was his end
His end was that road
So they say
Whoa possum...possum...possum...possum -2x
Whoa possum...possum
Your end is the road

CHORUS: -repeat last 2 lines
