I was just a lonely boy stickin' close to home. Content to be there with my folks without a thought to roam. But late one night a change of my mind turned to left down low.
The night wind is sighin' the night bird is cryin' whippoorwill whippoorwill. He calls in the gloamin' to his mate that's roamin' whippoorwill whippoorwill.
I have heard of a land on the faraway strand this a beautiful home of the soul. Built by Jesus on high there we never shall die. This the land where we'll never grow old.
Four men in a big truck came today. They walked right in and took your all things away. And standing at the door I've watched them drive away. Now it all comes back like it was yesterday.
Why will a man go out and cheat what makes temptation so sweet. And it's a shame that neon lights will make a man stay all night. With a girl in a bar down the street.
(When they ring those golden bells for you and me). There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever. And we only reach that shore by fate's decree.
What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and grieves to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Oh what peace we often forfeit of what needless pain we bear.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord. Were you there when they crucified my Lord. Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble tremble tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord.
You got me I got you we got love. When we walk in the room they stop talking. But the looks that we get say a lot. Let them think what they're like you and I both know we're right.
I never dreamed her footsteps could ever sound so lonely. As they did as she left today. I raised my hand and brushed your tear as I helplessly stood there.
It's late in the evening. She wonders what clothes to wear. She puts on her make up. And brushes her long blond hair. . And then she asked me. "Do I look alright?".
You disappear a day or so. I have no idea where you go. Then out of the blue you cross my mind. It's me and you just like old times. . Walkin' in the autumn breeze.
It can happen any moment. Without reason or rhyme. It might be right around the corner. Or it'll come up from behind. A picture that I thought would fade.
If there's someone out there their heart is filled with doubt. If they standing in the shadow and the candles blows out. And the devil is there with you, he's got you in his hold.
Your Daddy called you down to the farm. Said "He needed the crop in the barn yesterday". Two days gone six days there. All I do is sit and stare at a TV.
What's going on in your world?. I hope you're doing fine. I just called to say, "There's not a day. You don't cross my mind". . I just wanted to see if you felt like me.
Don't tell me it's all over. Don't break my heart in two. Happiness is mine when I'm with you. . Is it true you've found another?. Are you leaving me behind?.
You're like the warm sunshine I think of you all the time. I've fallen for you and that's a fact what do you say to that. You're always in my dreams I think you know what they mean.
Looking out across the field is the old highway. Here comes a Ford, there goes a Chevrolet. Well, I got my heart set on seeing her Cadillac. Yeah, I'm sittin' here watchin' my baby not coming back.
When Mama Cried. ( Written by Daron Norwood / Wayne Perry ). . I was standing in the hall when they called the doctor in. Almost scared me half to death.
