| Well I see him on the Tv Preachin' bout the promise land
|
| He tells me to believe in Jesus
|
| And steals the money from my hand
|
| Some say he was a good man
|
| But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
|
| Twenty-two years of mental tears
|
| Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
|
| Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
|
| To find his country didn’t want him back
|
| Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
|
| Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets
|
| In a time I don’t remember
|
| In a war he can’t forget
|
| He cries «Forgive me for what I’ve done there
|
| Cause I never meant the things I did»
|
| Chorus:
|
| And give me something to believe in If there’s a Lord above
|
| And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise
|
| Our best friend died a lonely man
|
| In some Palm Springs hotel room
|
| I got the call last Christmas Eve
|
| And they told me the news
|
| I tried all night not to break down and cry
|
| As the tears rolled down my face
|
| I felt so cold and empty
|
| Like a lost soul out of place
|
| And the mirror, mirror on the wall
|
| Sees my smile it fades again
|
| Chorus
|
| Sometimes I wish to God I didn’t know now
|
| The things I didn’t know then
|
| Road you gotta take me home
|
| I drive by the homeless sleepin on a cold dark street
|
| Like bodies in and open grave
|
| Underneath the broken old neon sign
|
| That used to read JESUS SAVES
|
| A mile away live the rich folk
|
| And I see how they’re living it up While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
|
| The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
|
| And it just makes me wonder
|
| Why so many lose, so few win
|
| Chorus
|
| You take the high road
|
| And I’ll take the low road
|
| Sometime I wish I didn’t know now
|
| The things I didn’t know then |
