Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Piano Solo] [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Outro] 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
