Keep Sake

One gonna heal my body
Another gonna heal my pain
One gonna settle me down
And bring me back up again
One gonna put my family
Back together again
One gonna hold my woman
Another gonna hold my job
One gonna help me get up
Another gonna help me stop

One gonna help me talk right
One gonna lay me down to sleep
One gonna hold my guts
And another gonna hold my bones
One gonna keep me warm
And another gonna keep me cold
One gonna bring religion
Right from the cold man's stove

One gonna help me keep
And another gonna help me take
One gonna run me down to hell
The bullets in my wake
You're gonna keep my soul
It was yours to have long ago

One gonna buckle my belt
Around the ceiling pipe
One gonna buckle my knees
And one gonna lock them up tight
One will hold the pen
While you drag my arm across the page

One gonna hold my memory
Another gonna close the door
One gonna leave me restless
Another wanting more
You're gonna keep my soul
