But for Joe & Eddie, this Gibson and Ochs co-write would have disappeared.

LYRIC

Ain't No Way (No Grave Gonna Hold Me)

Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
You’re thinkin’ that I am going’ but I’ll be rising’ with the morn

Ain’t no river gonna hold me on the shore
Ain’t no river gonna hold me on the shore
Ain’t no river gonna hold me on the shore
Another ragin’ river is what I’m looking’ for

There ain’t no river
There ain’t no way
There ain’t no soul that can’t be saved
There ain’t no mountain that I can’t climb
There ain’t no woman that won’t be mine

Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
You’re thinkin’ that I am going’ but I’ll be rising’ with the morn

Ain’t no fire gonna burn my dreams away
Ain’t no fire gonna burn my dreams away
Ain’t no fire gonna burn my dreams away
The flames may take my body but my dreams are here to stay

There ain’t no river
There ain’t no way
There ain’t no soul that can’t be saved
There ain’t no mountain that I can’t climb
There ain’t no woman that won’t be mine

Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
Ain’t no way you gonna hold my body
You’re thinkin’ that I am going’ but I’ll be rising’ with the morn
You’re thinkin’ that I am going’ but I’ll be rising’ with the morn
