HAS NEVER BEEN RECORDED
|
VERSE1
My name is Billy Jordan I was born in Tennessee
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
(AM)I was born in a cabin outside 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
|
REPEAT CHORUS
