If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how. Keep your hand on the gospel plow, hold on, hold on, hold on. Mary had a golden chain. Every link spelled Jesus' name, hold on, hold on, hold on.
This is for footsteps approaching the night. They keep themselves moving and do what is right. Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand. Numbers are many, misunderstand.
All these dyin' days. I walk the ghost town. Used to be my city. I seen a holy man. Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary. All these dyin' days. . Yes it's too late.
Born to work under the way your velvet lies. Smoke and fog, getting hazy in the sky, arise. . I've been where you've never been. I've seen what you never seen.
Never moved to the big ol' city. Like a lot friends I know. Had my eye on somethin' closer. Not far down the road. . Buckin' hay on a flatbed Chevy. Green eyes and a working tan.
There nothing left to say, say. There nothing left to say, say. There nothing left to say. . I've been looking on the bright side, I've been trying to remember.
Well I'm no different than the average girl. My dreams wrap around the world. And I'll be living somewhere in France. When my dreams come true. . There'll be a big boat waitin' on me.
Trust was never meant for me. Stuck on sights that can't be seen. I play on what the world believes. The easy way I turn to lean. . And maybe chance, is all played out.
Started off easy. Downtown, the lights comin' on. The sun goin' down, you were leanin' back on me. Just messin' around, puttin' your hair up in a ponytail.
Does it bother you to have my feet on your desk?. Please take it as a sign of no respect. Your office was open, thought we'd have a little talk. Here's somethin' you can stuff in your suggestion box.
The first time I held you close in my arms. I was sure that our love could survive any storm. I wish I could say I still felt the same. And what's causing these blues is only the rain.
Sweet morning takes you away. Sweet nothings, we try to say. Only music fills the space. Only sadness on my face. . Sweet Sorrow. Parting is such. Sweet sorrow.
How did I think it would be. Maybe like a TV show. Half hour episodes that solve everything. And make you absolutely happy. Absolutely happy. . Now I've made you cry.
Wake up young man, it's time to wake up. Your love affair has got to go. For ten long years, for ten long years. The leaves to rake up. . Slow suicide's no way to go, oh.
So much blood I'm starting to drown. Runs from cold to colder. Time to time the sky's come down. To help me lose my way. . Tears and lies for answers.
For clear space and soundness of mind. I've let you play me for some time. One can only receive and retain. But the lies you recite for your gain. . So you rely on my faith in your kind.
Babe, why are you still inside?. Why don't you come outside?. Relieve your pain. Time, we've been killing time. . But I don't mind. The city's got me down.
And if I ever fall in love again. I will be sure that the lady is a friend. And if I ever fall in love, so true. I will be sure that the lady's just like you, oh.
I went downtown after dark. To soak up all the bright light. To turn myself on. Just to try and feel alright. . I didn't want to meet you there. I didn't think I had to.
I'm out on the sea filled with sorrows. Tossed like a ship who ran afore. I'm seeking the help of my Savior. By the way of the Cross, I must go. . Back to the Cross and to Jesus.
