Well I see him on the TV
|
Preachin' 'bout the promise lands
|
He tells me believe in Jesus
|
Steals the money from my hands
|
|
Some say he was a good man
|
Lord I think he sinned, yeah
|
|
Twenty-two years of mental tears
|
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
|
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
|
To find his country didn't want him back
|
|
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
|
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
|
In a time I don't remember
|
In a war he can't forget
|
|
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
|
Cause I never meant the things I did"
|
|
Chorus:
|
And give me something to believe in
|
If there's a Lord above
|
And give me something to believe in
|
Oh, Lord arise
|
|
My best friend died a lonely man
|
In some Palm Springs hotel room
|
I got the call last Christmas Eve
|
And they told me the news
|
|
I tried all night not to break down and cry
|
As the tears rolled down my face
|
I felt so cold and empty
|
Like a lost soul out of place
|
|
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
|
Sees my smile it fades again
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
|
The things I didn't know then
|
Road you gotta take me home
|
|
Solo
|
|
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
|
Like bodies in an open grave
|
Underneath the broken old neon sign
|
That used to read JESUS SAVES
|
|
A mile away live the rich folks
|
And I see how they're living it up
|
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
|
The rich drinkin' from a golden cup
|
|
And it just makes me wonder
|
Why so many lose, and so few win
|
|
Chorus
|
|
You take the high road
|
And I'll take the low road
|
|
Yes Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
|
The things I didn't know then
|
|
And give me something to believe in, yeah
|
