That's All The Lumber You Sent - Kathy Mattea[00:00:00]
Said a friend to a friend one day [00:00:09]
Was a man who passed away[00:00:11]
St Peter met him at the gate[00:00:13]
Pete said: "Walk with me if you will[00:00:17]
I'll take you to the house you built"[00:00:20]
Man said: "I can't wait "[00:00:22]
Passed a mansion made of stone[00:00:26]
But with each new house he's shown[00:00:28]
They get smaller by degrees[00:00:30]
Stopped in front of a two room shack[00:00:34]
Pete said hope you're happy with that[00:00:37]
Man said: "How can this be "[00:00:39]
Pete said:[00:00:42]
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber[00:00:43]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:00:47]
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number[00:00:51]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:00:56]
(intro)[00:01:00]
Man didn't know what to say[00:01:15]
Poor guy was blown away[00:01:17]
Said: "you mean this is what I deserve "[00:01:19]
Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so[00:01:23]
It's too late but now you know[00:01:25]
Shoulda done better work"[00:01:27]
Said: You mean not lie and cheat[00:01:32]
And helpin' old ladies across the street [00:01:34]
Pete says: Well that's a start[00:01:36]
Remember that man back in that great big house [00:01:39]
He found out early what it's all about[00:01:42]
Built that place with his heart--as for you[00:01:45]
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber[00:01:49]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:01:53]
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number[00:01:57]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:02:02]
What if that man was me[00:02:08]
And I failed that miserably[00:02:10]
You're showin' me things I don't wanna see[00:02:12]
(intro)[00:02:17]
St Peter if you can[00:02:36]
Send me back to earth again[00:02:38]
Is that somethin' you can do [00:02:40]
Pete said: It ain't up to me[00:02:43]
If it was I'd like to see[00:02:46]
How you plan to improve[00:02:48]
Said: I'd love God and fellow man[00:02:52]
Take a wife and make a stand[00:02:55]
Be the givinest guy I can be[00:02:57]
And when I get back to this neighborhood[00:03:01]
There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood[00:03:03]
And I'd say: What's this I see --You'd tell me[00:03:05]
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber[00:03:09]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:03:13]
Big boss'll help you hammer it all together[00:03:18]
That's all the lumber you sent"[00:03:22]
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber[00:03:29]
That's all the lumber you sent[00:03:33]
Big boss'll help you hammer it all together[00:03:37]
That's all the lumber you sent"[00:03:41]
