Hank Williams died when |
|
I was five |
|
He sang I'll never get out of this world alive |
|
Now it's been a long time since |
|
I was that kid |
|
And I've seen a lot more than |
|
Hank ever did |
|
I've done the down and out in every dark end dive |
|
But I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
Sam Coke met the woman at the well |
|
She told him that his song was something he could never sell |
|
And I think he knew a change was gonna come |
|
Still he lived too fast and he died too young |
|
Well dying young |
|
I have survived |
|
But I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
I got washed in the blood of |
|
Bill Monroe |
|
When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul |
|
He believed in a |
|
God that could raise the dead |
|
Still it's a mighty dark night to travel he said |
|
I've seen a mighty dark night and |
|
I made that drive |
|
But I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
Robert Johnson had a hellhound on his trail |
|
Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail |
|
It takes a powerful man to carry that load |
|
When your trying to beat the devil to the old crossroads |
|
I wrestled the devil lived to testify |
|
But I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
I'll never get out of your love alive |
|
I'll never get out of your love alive |
