Keep askin'
How long will my love it last
Always
Keep askin'
How long will my days they pass
Always
Keep asking me my love
Keep asking help from above
There comes a time
And a place when
You kind of mind living
Day to day when
Country to country
And state to state where
They all got their leaders
Who all push their wheight
Another mother lost
Another child today
Bet tommorow that will
Be yesterday's
Bet you double that
Some people enraged
On the corner
With their voices
Raising judgement day
Keep askin'
How long will my love it last
Always
Keep askin'
How long will my days they pass
Always
Keep askin' me my love
Keep asking help from above
Keep askin' me my love
Keep asking help from above

I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
Turn the tape recorder on
He just left Jackie O for Marilyn Monroe
We're all bought and sold
For tobacco, firearms and alcohol
What's a pocket full of gold
Without a woman that you could hold
Can't afford to be on the back burner no more
Now I got a lot of places to go
Cause the actions of a few
Have put a world in harms way
And history has proven
That they killed our leaders dead
And I don't know about your right and wrong
I got a muse
From the east to the west
All I know is if I never said it before
I'm going to say it with my last breath
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
Find something you can sell
Set you on a trail
Have a ball and a belle
Buy a ticket out of Hell
Not as far as I could tell
Very Well
Bubba I'm a bust your tail
My uncle Clarence hit
The hammer with nail
Wash your hand before
You come to the meal
Cut out the light
Cause it comes with a bill
Cause the violence of a few
Have put a World in harms way
And history has proven that they
Killed our leaders dead
Well I don't know about your right and wrong
I got a muse from the east to the west
All I know is if I never said it before
I'm going to say it with my last breath
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me twilight
Never forget...

In a couple of hours
The morning is coming
And I'm hittin' the door runnin,
The gasoline is burning
And I couldn't explain why
The message that I have been given
Could have us drown
In the river
Still I gotta deliver it
And I couldn't explain why
I hold a couple of grudges
Could have had a couple of touches
If I hadn't had a couple of crutches
And I couldn't explain why
The world keeps turning
The sun keeps burning
For all to learn what
Heavens only knows
Why do some
Get taken too young
All these answers
That heaven only knows
The wheels are turning
Churching all types of emotion
Strong as the oceans
And I couldn't explain why
This message that I have been given
Could have me drown by the river
Still I gotta deliver it
And I couldn't explain why
I hold a couple of grudges
Could have had a couple of touches
If I hadn't had a couple on crutches
And I couldn't explain why

When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong
Let alone no one else
Well the children still dying in the streets
The babies still living with disease
The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
Who work for Mr. Franklin every week
If you've come looking for hard times
Hard times ain't hard to find
Cause we've been given that lifeline
Only once in a lifetime
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to endure
When the storm comes
Got them sad eyes
Got them cat eyes
Got your angels tired
From saving your life
So you would be best
To contain yourself
Before you end up killed
His bare feet
Touch her bare feet
The air breaths sweet
At the mountains peak
And I forgot
What the wise man said
About that ancient thread
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to rejoice
When it succumbs
. . .

Life's ride down the river
Everyday getting clearer
All the while getting nearer
We all belong
This place we've been delivered
Take the good with the bitter
Some may dismiss you
We all belong
When you and I
Were so far
We were so far
Away from here
All my life been gambling times
Been evading mines
Away from here
And the roads they'll take you down
And the winds will sweep your feet off the ground
And the wheels they won't turn around
On that road that leads outta town
I've found
When you and I were so far away
We were so far
Away from here
