Lyrics:Joshua Kadison Music:Joshua Kadison | |
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. |
