| We could hear the gospel all around |
| My dad and me leanin' 'gainst a tree with leaves falling down |
| Now, daddy, he’s no holy man. |
| He never taught us how to pray |
| But he saw the questions on my face |
| He looked at me and I turned away |
| And he said, «Believe what you want to, believe what you can |
| 'cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine… |
| Love’s the only thing worth a damn |
| So take it or leave it, deny or receive it |
| 'cause maybe it was never really ours to understand.» |
| And that right there’s the gospel according to my ol' man |
| The neighbors just put up with us |
| Mrs. Jones always tried to save our souls |
| With a fiery look as she held her book |
| And read about him calling all his little lost lambs back to the fold |
| And Daddy’d say, «Now, Elna May, with all due respect |
| Believe what you want to, believe what you can |
| 'cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine… |
| Love’s the only thing worth a damn |
| So take it or leave it, deny or receive it |
| 'cause maybe it was never really ours to understand." |
| And that right there’s the gospel according to my ol' man |
