paroles de chanson Gospel Roads - The Americans
Lift
Him
Up,
That's
All
He
whistled
as
he
filled
his
old
suitcase
I
threw
my
crutches
in
the
trunk
Sealed
the
oils,
and
packed
it
all
away
Every
crossroad
looked
alike
to
me
In
the
poor
towns
where
we
drove
Just
a
dusty
country
highway
But
my
father
called
them
gospel
roads
When
he
raised
his
voice
They'd
fall
silent
as
if
called
by
name
He
spoke
of
people
long
ago
Living
places
far
away
We'd
shill
them
like
the
carnival
The
old
and
the
young
Turned
their
pockets
inside-out
And
blessed
our
hearts
for
doing
what
we'd
done
We
brightened
up
their
faces
Once
weary
and
forlorn
They'd
discover
but
a
clever
scheme
Where
visions
of
their
hopeful
dreams
were
born
I'd
put
my
hand
in
his
When
it
was
time
to
go
We'd
strike
our
tent
and
kick
up
dust
All
the
way
back
up
that
gospel
road
He'd
sand
down
his
brand
new
boots
I'd
read
aloud
his
sermon
We
drove
all
the
way
to
Arkansas
On
other
people's
money
that
we'd
turned
My
father
used
to
warn
them
One
day
it
will
all
fall
apart
Now
that
I
know
it
to
be
true
I
wonder
if,
for
once,
he
was
speaking
from
his
heart
When
the
day
came
to
bury
him
I
had
a
chance
to
start
anew
But
you
stick
to
what
you
know
I
took
to
his
once
I'd
outgrown
my
Sunday
suit
I
pulled
up
my
grieving
roots
Before
they
had
a
chance
to
grow
I
cut
him
from
my
memory
And
I
drove
east
down
some
old
gospel
road
The
fire
of
greed
burns
so
richly
In
the
torches
on
the
walls
You
can't
take
your
eyes
off
it
Even
as
your
castle
falls
I
know
my
loving
mother
Raised
me
better
than
that
I
used
to
wonder
why
she
bothered
The
whole
world
looked
so
much
brighter
from
where
she
sat
At
the
table
in
the
small
room
At
the
end
of
the
hall
Where
I
learned
many
a
fable
All
to
do
with
righteousness
and
law
I
can't
take
my
mind
off
it
When
the
nights
end
alone
I
see
her
face
among
the
souls
I
sold
Into
a
heaven
that
I'll
never
know
Now
when
I
drive
down
Those
old
gospel
roads
I
feel
closer
to
those
tales
of
sin
I
seldom
understood,
but
often
told
Lift
Him
up,
that's
all
It's
all
that
I
know
But
the
game's
played
out
and
every
door's
Been
boarded
up
along
those
gospel
roads
