Ollie told me I'm a fool. So I
|
walked on down the road a mile, Went to the house that brings a smile
|
Sat upon my grandpa's knee, And what do you think he said to me?
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
When You Awake you will remember ev'rything, You will be
|
hangin' on a string from your... 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.
|
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
|
Use your days and save your nights,
|
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
|
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Ollie warned 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 itwhen I was very small.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
|
captains daughter. You can go and tell your brother. We sure gonna
|
love one another, Oh! You
|
may be right and ya might be wrong, I ain't gonna 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 your head I could wake up in the
|
mornin' dead. Oh! And
|
if I thought it would do any good, I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood.
