paroles de chanson Jesus Saves - Riley Green

There was a man I used to pass on my way into town
He was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down
I often wondered how he ended up like that
So one day, driving home, I pulled over to asked

And I said, "Man, where'd it all go wrong?"
And he said, "Son, do you really wanna know?

"My daddy left for another woman, moved off to L.A.
My mama fought hard against that cancer, she died when I was eight
I finished school, my country shipped me off to war
When I came home, my whole world didn't love me anymore"

It's hard to see all just driving by
So, I just write down "Jesus Saves" 'cause there ain't no way
I can fit that on a sign
I can't fit that on a sign

I took him to a dinner, I bought him a cup of coffee
He asked me if he could borrow a couple dollars off me
He told me his story, I told mine
And he said, "Thanks 'cause most folks around here
Would never take the time," he said

"I lost my job down at the mill when that factory closed
Army stopped sending me them checks, the bank took everything I own
Hitchhiked my way up to Chicago, the nights were too damn cold
I hopped the train, headed west 'cause I had nowhere else to go"

It's hard to see all that driving by
So, I just write down "Jesus Saves," 'cause there ain't no way
I can fit that on a sign
There ain't no way to fit that on a sign

I probably would've wrote down a little more
If I could've found a bigger piece of cardboard

My brother, Walter was my hero, but he was 'bout the drink
One night, he laid his Harley down near that Ohio River bank
Me and my ex-wife tried for kids when we were dating
Hell, we even had baby names picked out, but little Walter didn't make it

It's hard to see all that just driving by
So, I just write down "Jesus Saves," 'cause there ain't no way
I can fit that on a sign
I can't fit all that on a sign
