Refrain - James[00:02:09]
Oh, John Dillon James was my good time country buddy [00:02:09]
Well, we hunted, talked and fished his last days away [00:02:09]
He was just a hired farm hand, worked old man Walker's land [00:02:09]
Retired on his 68th birthday [00:02:09]
Yeah, he wore a size sixteen shoe, had skin like alligator [00:02:09]
Lord, he could pick up a deer and walk right out of those woods [00:02:09]
Old Dillon had a million tales but he sung me one refrain [00:02:09]
And I recall that song by John Dillon James [00:02:09]
One July Monday morning I met him at the fishing hole [00:02:09]
But old Dillon wasn't toting his half pint of tin hide [00:02:09]
His roll your own tobacco string was a-hanging from his pocket [00:02:09]
His eyes were red as beets, looked like he cried [00:02:09]
And I know he sat on knees cause his overalls were muddy [00:02:09]
But my ten year old mind didn't understand [00:02:09]
He sat down on the bank and wrote this four line refrain [00:02:09]
And I recall that song by John Dillon James [00:02:09]
Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky [00:02:09]
I've been talking to the man, I'm gonna fly [00:02:09]
Paid the price down on my knees [00:02:09]
A voice from heaven promised me [00:02:09]
I got my ticket for the ride in the sky [00:02:09]
Well, it was one year to the day on a July Monday morning [00:02:09]
I waited at the fishing hole but old Dillon, he didn't show [00:02:09]
Daddy came down about noon, and said [00:02:09]
Son, I've got some news [00:02:09]
Lord's rested old Dillon's soul [00:02:09]
Yeah, and I walked up to his bedside [00:02:09]
Looked down at old big Dillon [00:02:09]
Lord knows that I saw a pair of wings [00:02:09]
That tables set but I felt good, for at last I understood [00:02:09]
That refrain sung by John Dillon James [00:02:09]
Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky, Lord, y'all [00:02:09]
I've been talking to the man, I'm gonna fly (I'm gonna fly) [00:02:09]
I paid the price down on my knees [00:02:09]
A voice from heaven promised me [00:02:09]
Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky [00:02:09]
Yeah, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky[00:02:09]
