Summer Early 60's - Carter's Chord[00:00:00]
It' Summer' early 60s and it must be Sunday evening[00:00:28]
'Cause you can smell a good revival'[00:00:35]
And it's way past our bedtime[00:00:38]
There are hell fire brimstone preachers'[00:00:42]
There are tongues interpretations'[00:00:45]
There are reasons that go deeper'[00:00:49]
Than the treason in our souls[00:00:52]
But the air is thick' and the night is warm[00:00:56]
And the pew's too hard to sleep on[00:01:00]
It keeps us straight' no comfort here[00:01:03]
This world is not our home[00:01:07]
There ain't no mercy for the wicked'[00:01:10]
Sing the voices from the choir[00:01:13]
Tonight you soul might be required[00:01:17]
In the presence of the Lord[00:01:20]
Momma leads us past the graveyard'[00:01:26]
She knows there's ghosts we have to pass by[00:01:29]
And we sure don't want to wake 'em[00:01:33]
In the middle of the night[00:01:37]
Up ahead we see her walking[00:01:40]
She knows there's judgment 'round the corner[00:01:43]
But she keeps her pace steady'[00:01:47]
Got her bible in her hand[00:01:51]
Oh' but daddy sits at home[00:01:54]
Got his boots up on the table[00:01:58]
And he's watching Bonanaza as he hears the time tick by[00:02:01]
He's got cigarettes and coffee[00:02:08]
He's got little bean bag ashtrays[00:02:12]
He's listenin' to Bonanza' but the clock has got his eye[00:02:16]
There ain't no mercy for the wicked'[00:02:22]
Sing the voices from the choir[00:02:25]
Tonight your soul might be required[00:02:29]
In the presence of the Lord[00:02:33]
He is standing' now he's pacing[00:02:42]
There's a river that runs through him[00:02:45]
And he can't call back his anger[00:02:49]
As he meets us at the door[00:02:52]
There are questions' accusations[00:02:56]
Then he strikes' just like a rattler[00:02:59]
And his rage it is relentless[00:03:03]
Never less than' always more[00:03:06]
Feel the fire in the hallway[00:03:10]
See the demon in the doorway[00:03:13]
Our hearts are beating faster[00:03:17]
As we duck between the shouts[00:03:20]
We can hear the TV next door[00:03:24]
As they push the volume louder[00:03:28]
They're convinced it aint' their business[00:03:31]
We're just praying' make it stop[00:03:35]
There ain't no mercy for the wicked'[00:03:38]
Sing the voices from the choir[00:03:41]
Tonight your soul might be required[00:03:45]
In the presence of the Lord[00:03:49]
There ain't no mercy for the wicked'[00:03:52]
Sing the voices from the choir[00:03:55]
Tonight you soul might be required[00:03:59]
In the presence of the Lord[00:04:03]
We've got burglar-proof houses[00:04:14]
In our neighborhood of secrets[00:04:17]
There's no one breaking in here[00:04:21]
And nobody getting out[00:04:24]
