|
My dress shoes on |
|
The well kept cemetery lawn |
|
Both of them weeping |
|
Their one good son now was gone |
|
The irony to see my dad |
|
Down on his knees |
|
Crying out to |
|
Jesus"But Lord I've always done what's right" |
|
And all the while the good |
|
Lord smiled |
|
And looked the other way |
|
And looked the other way |
|
When we were kids |
|
I did my best to make them proud |
|
It just wasn't in me |
|
I could not fly straight to save my life |
|
And all the while the good |
|
Lord smiled |
|
And looked the other way |
|
And looked the other way |
|
Their big success is now their biggest failure |
|
Their golden child has been dethroned |
|
Their reputation is now in ruins |
|
Their tower to heaven has come tumbling down |
|
And all the while the good |
|
Lord smiles |
|
And looks the other way |
|
And looks the other way |
