Sitting on a bench one day. An old man stumbled past me by. He turned to me, his body shaking and said,. Im too old for this life.. . But something in his eye was sparkling,.
You call yourself American man,. But your pocket s full of hell.. I call myself a warrior. I can see that youre an arrogant man,. And Ill fight until you fall..
In a time between two wars. When a slip could get you killed. A man appeared with a master plan. And they called him Wild Bill. . He talked you 'round in circles.
Bring your offeringccside door, she's your ride. Born to carry you to the other side. I will know you when things don't quite add up. Bring your parasol and your coffee cup.
Now you're a long way from graduation and the age of teen. Sometimes you feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the scene. You pull yourself out of bed, you're lookin' pretty good for your age (mm-hmm!).
Now there's last Sunday's paper. Crumpled up and rollin' down the street away. And there's a piece of gun. Just waitin' for a ride on someone's feet today.
Spoken:. Okay, now, try to stay quiet.. Chorus:. Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here. And they keep knockin' at the door. Flashlights shinin' through the window in front.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
A child was born to be our Savior. Wise men came from near and far. To see the Jesus in the manger. The pathway lighted by the stars. . Someday he'll wake me from the dead.
When these lips shall never more. Place a kiss upon thy brow. But like holding still in death. Will you love me then as now. . Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone).
I was standing by the window. On a cold and cloudy day. When I saw the hearse come rolling. To carry my mother away. . Will the circle be unbroken. Bye and bye Lord bye and bye.
On cruel Calvary where He suffered. There He died upon the cross. That we might be saved, my brother. Freed from sin and not be lost. . Will He wait a little longer.
As I went down for to take a little walk. I came upon that Wild Bill Jones. He was a walking and a talking by my true lover's side. And I bid him to leave her alone.
In this awful world of sorrow. On this wicked path of sin. Never thinking of tomorrow. Or what I'd lose in the end. . Oh I can hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells ringing.
In the beautiful hills way back in Virginia. By the side of his home where he played as a lad. In a deep dark grave Carter lies sleeping. There lies the best friend that I ever had.
Of I sing for my friends. When death's cold hand I see. When I reach my journey's end. Who will sing one song for me. . I wonder (I wonder) who. Will sing (will sing) for me.
Now who will kiss your lips darlin'?. Who will call you sweetheart?. Oh, who will tell you they love you?. Oh, you once was my little sweetheart. . Now who's been talkin' to you.
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia. There's a place that I love so well. Where I spent many days of my childhood. In the cabin where we loved to dwell.
Sinner why not heed the day won't you come and go this way. Where Jesus lives and we'll never say goodbye. To a home that's far and bright and there never is a night.
