The Night Riders

The Night Riders was the name given by the press to the militant faction of tobacco farmers during a popular resistance to the monopolistic practices of the American Tobacco Company of James B. Duke. On September 24, 1904, the tobacco planters of western Kentucky and the neighboring counties of West Tennessee formed the Dark Fired Tobacco District, or Black Patch District Planters' Protective Association of Kentucky and Tennessee (called the Association or PPA). It urged farmers to boycott the American Tobacco Company and refuse to sell at the ruinously low prices being offered in a quasi-monopoly market. Groups of a more militant faction of farmers, trained and led by Dr. David A. Amoss of Caldwell County, Kentucky, resorted to physical intimidation or burn… more »

I hear you won't dance you say
No one asks you anyway
Hard to make ends meet
Domino's every day
If the bible taught us anything
Adam got the best of the deal
Horizontal sailing
Something that you want to do
Telephone is ringing
But the message isn't getting through
How are you supposed to touch
If you don't even know how to feel
Open up your eyes
No one gets two tries
You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born
Keystone holiday
You headed for the "Show Me" state
Trials and tribulations
Money came a little late
Stoned downtown
With a paper bag and no shoes
Well so much innocence
Lose it in a second flat
Revolution on the way
You tell me what's up with that
This stuff was over back in 1972
So open up your eyes
You're in for a surprise
You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born
Don't even go there
Don't even bother to try
Cause you know if you go there
Yeah, you might as well kiss me good-bye
You're in for a surprise
No one gets two tries
You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
(A slap like being born)
You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born
You need a shot
You need a shot
You need a shot
