When Levon Sings Lyrics - World War Willie - Willie Nile

When Levon sings 

Levon sings 

Gates fell open and we all got wings 

Better tighten up them guitar strings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings 

Once upon a time was a drummer in a band 

He kept a mighty beat across a promised land 

He played with a smile from ear to ear 

Now up in heaven all the angels want to hear 

When Levon sings 

Levon sings 

Gates fell open and we all got wings 

Better tighten up them guitar strings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings 

Born on a farm down in Arkansas 

Best damn singer that you ever saw 

Now he's keeping time with the man upstairs 

When the lightning cracks that's Levon's snare 

The lightning cracks that's Levon's snare 

When Levon sings 

Levon sings 

Gates fell open and we all got wings 

Better tighten up them guitar strings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings 

Levon was but a man it's true 

Working every day like me and you 

But when that voice begins to roar 

The chains break free on heaven's door 

The chains break free on heaven's door 

When Levon sings 

Levon sings 

Gates fell open and we all got wings 

Better tighten up them guitar strings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings 

When Levon sings 

Levon sings 

Gates fell open and we all got wings 

Better tighten up them guitar strings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings 

The cotton is high when Levon sings 

The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings
