The Outlaw's Prayer - Hit Co. Masters[00:00:00]
You know i worked the big packet show[00:00:25]
In fort worth saturday night[00:00:26]
We had all day sunday to rest and relax[00:00:30]
Before i caught another flight[00:00:33]
So i decided to walk downtown[00:00:40]
An get myself a little fresh air[00:00:43]
Before long i found myself in front of a big church[00:00:47]
On the corner of the square[00:00:50]
Boy i could hear that singin way out in the street[00:00:55]
It wure was a beautiful sound[00:00:58]
So i just walked up the steps[00:01:05]
An opened the door an started to go inside an sit down[00:01:07]
But before i could a young man walked over to me[00:01:15]
An said excuse me sir[00:01:17]
But i can't let you in with that big black hat[00:01:21]
Those jeans that beard an long hair[00:01:25]
So i just left went back outside[00:01:32]
Sat down on that curb[00:01:36]
An i thought to myself that's the house of the lord[00:01:39]
That guy's got a hell of a nerve[00:01:43]
Tellin me i can't worship anywhere i please[00:01:45]
So right there in front of that church[00:01:50]
I just knelt down on my knees[00:01:53]
I said lord i know i don't look like much[00:01:58]
But i didn't think you'd mind[00:02:04]
I just wanted to be with your people lord[00:02:09]
It's been a long time[00:02:12]
A while ago i saw a wino over there in the alley[00:02:19]
All bent over in tears[00:02:21]
An i thought how one stained glass window from this church[00:02:26]
Would feed his family for years[00:02:30]
Then there's those fine cars parked outside[00:02:35]
Too many for me to count[00:02:39]
Made me think how people walked for days[00:02:42]
To hear your sermon on the mountain[00:02:46]
Then there's those fine ladies in the choir lord[00:02:55]
Singin like they really love it[00:02:59]
Hell last night they were dancin on the front row of my show[00:03:02]
Drinkin beer and screamin sing shove it[00:03:07]
You know even john the baptist[00:03:16]
Wouldn't be welcome in this place[00:03:18]
With his coat made of camel hair[00:03:21]
An sandals on his feet an a long beard on his face[00:03:24]
You know lord when you come back to get your children[00:03:32]
An take em beyond the clouds[00:03:37]
To live forever in heaven with ya[00:03:41]
Well i'd sure hate to be in this crowd[00:03:44]
You know lord i'm not perfect[00:03:51]
Some even call me no account[00:03:55]
But i'll tell you i believe a man is judged[00:03:59]
By what's in his heart and not his bank account[00:04:02]
So if this is what religion is[00:04:09]
A big car a suit a tie[00:04:12]
Then i might as well forget it lord[00:04:16]
Cause i can't qualify[00:04:19]
Oh by the way lord right before they kicked me out[00:04:24]
Didn't i see a picture of you[00:04:31]
With sandals an a beard[00:04:34]
Believe you had long hair too[00:04:37]
Well this is paycheck signing off[00:04:42]
I'll be seein you lord i hope[00:04:48]
