VERSE1
My name is Billy Jordan I was born in Tenne ssee
But I left there so many years ago
Now I am a stranger or so it seems to me
To everything there I used to know....used to know
|
VERSE2
I was born in a cabin out side a mountain town
Never learned to read till I was ten
But when I reached that age my mama sat me down
And the Bible was the first book I read then....I read then
|
CHORUS
Well the good book is fine till you read between the lines
And I never read it any other way
Now I think Ive seen a sign and Id like to change my mind
But I cant seem to find the words to say.....words to say
|
VERSE3
Got holes in my clothes got holes in my shoes
Waiting for my ship to come in
And its just about that time and I know Ive paid my dues
Or so I tell myself time and time again.....oh again
|
VERSE4
And a girl I met in Memphis took me from the cold
In a mission down on Second street
She said shed save my soul... she could see Is growing old
And she knew someone that Id like to meet..... like to meet
(CHORUS)
