The Outlaw's Prayer - Johnny Paycheck[00:00:01]

You know I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth[00:00:16]

Saturday night[00:00:18]

We had all day Sunday to rest and relax[00:00:23]

Before I caught another flight[00:00:26]

So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air[00:00:31]

Before long[00:00:37]

I found myself in front of a big church[00:00:37]

On the corner of the square[00:00:39]

Boy I could hear that singin' way out in the street[00:00:44]

Sure was a beautiful sound[00:00:47]

So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door[00:00:52]

An' started to go inside an' sit down[00:00:55]

But before I could[00:01:00]

A young man walked over to me an said Excuse me Sir[00:01:01]

But I can't let you in with that big black hat[00:01:07]

Those jeans that beard an' long hair[00:01:10]

So I just left went back outside[00:01:18]

Sat down on that kerbing[00:01:22]

An I thought to myself[00:01:26]

That's the house of the Lord[00:01:28]

That guy's got the hell of a nerve[00:01:31]

Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please[00:01:35]

So right there in front of that Church[00:01:41]

I just knelt down on my knees[00:01:44]

I said Lord I know I don't look like much[00:01:50]

But I didn't think you'd mind[00:01:57]

I just wanted to be with your people[00:02:00]

Lord it's been a long time[00:02:02]

A while ago a saw a wino over there in the alley[00:02:11]

All bent over in tears[00:02:14]

An' I thought how one stained glass window[00:02:18]

From this Church[00:02:21]

Would feed his family for years[00:02:24]

Then there's those fine cars parked outside[00:02:30]

Too many for me to count[00:02:34]

Made me think how people walked for days[00:02:38]

To hear your sermon on the mount[00:02:42]

Then there's those fine ladies in the choir[00:02:47]

Lord singin' like they really love it[00:02:51]

Hell last night[00:02:54]

They were dancin' on the front row of my show[00:02:56]

Drinkin' beer screamin[00:02:59]

'Sing Shove It '[00:03:00]

You know[00:03:08]

Even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place[00:03:09]

With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet[00:03:14]

An' a long beard on his face[00:03:19]

You know Lord[00:03:24]

When you come back to get your children[00:03:26]

An' take 'em beyond the clouds[00:03:29]

To live forever in Heaven with you[00:03:33]

Well I'd sure hate to be in this crowd[00:03:36]

You know Lord[00:03:45]

I'm not perfect[00:03:45]

Some even call me no count[00:03:48]

But I'll tell you[00:03:53]

I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart[00:03:54]

Not what's in his bank account[00:03:57]

So if this is what religion is[00:04:02]

A big car a suit an' a tie[00:04:04]

Then I might as well forget it Lord[00:04:08]

'Cause I can't qualify[00:04:11]

Oh by the way Lord[00:04:17]

Right before they kicked me out[00:04:19]

Didn't I see a picture of you[00:04:22]

With sandals an' a beard[00:04:25]

Believe you had long hair too[00:04:28]

Well this is Paycheck signing off[00:04:34]

I'll be seein' you Lord I hope[00:04:41]
