Lyrics I Was There - josh turner
I
was
there
that
night
in
Bethlehem
And
when
Neil
and
the
boys
came
to
the
moon
in
that
tin
can
At
Gettysburg,
Omaha
beach,
in
Vietnam
I
heard
every
soldier's
cry
and
mom's
prayer
I
was
there
I
was
there
when
you
took
your
first
breath
And
when
you
lit
that
stolen
Lucky
Strike
and
like
the
choke
to
death
When
you
were
waist
deep
in
Carter's
Creek
And
preacher
John
dunked
you
down
in
the
water
and
raised
you
up
for
air
I
was
there
I'm
always
around
I
was
then
and
I
am
now
And
I'll
be
here
when
tomorrow
comes
When
a
road
comes
to
an
end
I'm
where
you
start
again
I'm
never
farther
than
a
word
away
You've
always
got
a
friend
When
your
grandma
passed,
I
was
in
that
house
And
when
your
grandpa
ran
down
the
street
to
go
to
show
her
around
I
was
there
I'm
always
around
I
was
then
and
I
am
now
And
I'll
be
here
when
tomorrow
comes
When
a
road
comes
to
an
end
I'm
where
you
start
again
I'm
never
farther
than
a
word
away
You've
always
got
a
friend
I
was
there
last
night
on
highway
9
When
you
answered
the
phone
and
ran
right
through
that
stop
sign
I
was
in
the
cab,
in
that
bigger
rig,
in
that
trucker's
ear
They
then
swerve
to
the
right
and
miss
you
by
a
hair
I
was
there
If
you're
feeling
alone
