Revelation Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Bobby Braddock) 

Somewhere in Vietnam a 19-year-old soldier 

Walked out of a barroom 

And he said, I must be seeing things 

That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat 

In Bellfast Ireland a little lady 

Dropped her shovel in her garden 

She raced across the yard 

And ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy, what was that. 

In Memphis Tennessee a teacher 

Raised the window, closest the river 

And the children in her classroom swore 

They'd heard a choir singing down the street 

In Washington DC 

A private secretary's lips began to quiver 

And the President just put aside his papers 

And rose quickly to his feet.

23 Of The Most Heartbreaking Christmas Songs Ever 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I lay in a cheap motel in the arms 

Of someone else's woman 

When a loud explosion rocked the room 

And turned the morning into night 

I jumped out of bed and ran into the street 

With hardly any clothes on 

As the sky lit up my heart stood still 

And I could feel my face was turnin' white. 

All at once the clouds rolled back 

And there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory 

And I realized the saddest eyes 

I'd ever seen were lookin' straight at me 

I guess I was awakened by 

The penetrating sounds of my own screamin' 

And it didn't take me long to stumble 

Out of bed and fall down on my knees.

As tears rolled down my face I cried 

Dear God, I'm thankful I was only dreamin' 

And if I never go to hell, Lord 

It'll be because you scared it out of me...
