Porter Wagoner's Grave - Marty Stuart[00:00:00]

A world wearied man with tear filled eyes[00:00:02]

Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise[00:00:09]

Into the church meeting with this story he came[00:00:17]

Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same[00:00:24]

The preacher said sir you're welcome in here[00:00:35]

Now tell us as much as you'd want us to hear[00:00:44]

And the stranger said[00:00:54]

It was no more than an hour ago people[00:00:55]

I was looking for shelter for the night[00:00:58]

I wanted to go somewhere out of the way[00:01:03]

Somewhere peaceful and quiet[00:01:06]

So I went to a cemetery close by Thompson lane[00:01:09]

And with full respect I entered it and found rest from the rain[00:01:13]

I laid down under a sycamore and I was barely asleep[00:01:19]

When someone said 'hello stranger'[00:01:24]

And touched the boots on my feet[00:01:26]

His hair was pure silver almost like a crown of glory on top[00:01:30]

And the rain didn't touch him not one single drop[00:01:37]

His voice was familiar it brought me comfort and peace[00:01:42]

He laughed and said[00:01:47]

'Well we picked a strange place to meet[00:01:48]

But I understand I've often come here to pray[00:01:51]

When the burdens of life put stones in my way[00:01:55]

And you see friend you and me we're brothers[00:01:59]

Though we've never met[00:02:03]

We've both known heartache disappointment[00:02:06]

And the pain of regret[00:02:09]

The full weight of sadness love and its cost[00:02:11]

And without love a soul is nothing but empty and lost[00:02:15]

And I've come to tell you to go on now and be brave[00:02:22]

You can live again[00:02:26]

You know it's her love that you crave[00:02:29]

Go find the one you left behind hold her[00:02:31]

Take her by the hand[00:02:35]

Show her how much you need her[00:02:37]

I believe she'll understand[00:02:39]

Now son you take a look at this ground[00:02:42]

It's filled with things unsaid[00:02:44]

There's a world of good intentions here[00:02:47]

In the land of the dead[00:02:49]

And friend I'm here to tell you on this very night[00:02:51]

I was sent by your maker the giver of life[00:02:55]

To tell you there's rest for your soul[00:02:59]

There's peace and relief[00:03:02]

If you'll just surrender your burdens[00:03:04]

Lay them at god's feet[00:03:07]

Walk out of this place[00:03:09]

Go now and live[00:03:11]

In the light of a pure perfect presence[00:03:13]

That loves and forgives'[00:03:16]

He wore a long purple coat covered in wheels[00:03:20]

Red leather boots with sparkling heels[00:03:29]

On a dark stormy night a lost soul was saved[00:03:37]

Brought into the fold on porter wagoner's grave[00:03:45]
