Ollie, told me that, that I'm a fool |
|
So I walked on down the road a mile |
|
And went to the house that brings a smile |
|
Sat upon my grandpa's knee |
|
And what do you think he said to me? |
|
When you awake you will remember ev'rything |
|
You will be hangin' on a string |
|
When you believe, you will relieve the only soul |
|
That you were born with to grow old and never know |
|
Ollie, showed me the fork in the road, he said |
|
"Yeah, you can to take to the left or go straight to the right |
|
Save your days and use your nights |
|
Be careful where you step and watch wha-cha eat |
|
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat" |
|
When you awake you will remember ev'rything |
|
You will be hangin' on a string, yeah and |
|
When you believe, you will relieve the only soul |
|
That you were born with to grow old and never know |
|
Ollie, told me it's a mean old world |
|
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true |
|
But what am I supposed to do |
|
Read the writing on the wall |
|
I heard it when I was very small |
|
When you awake you will remember ev'rything |
|
You will be hangin' on a string and |
|
When you believe, you will relieve the only soul |
|
That you were born with to grow old and never know, oh no, no |
|
I wash my hands in lye water |
|
Got a date with the captains daughter |
|
You can go and tell your brother |
|
We sure gonna love one another |
|
Oh, it's okay, it's all right, yeah, yeah |
|
You may be right and you might be wrong |
|
No I won't worry all day long |
|
Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite |
|
My old car froze up last night |
|
Ain't no reason to hang my head |
|
So I could wake up in the mornin' dead, oh no, no |
|
And if I thought it would do any good |
|
I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood |
