Hard Work

Don't get cross with me young man

No I'm looking toward my promised land

Oh heaven knows I've been a fool, but hell don't dance and I sure don't duel

I've seen some things that'll twist your spine

Go on and tell me yours and I'll show you mine

Listen closely if you don't mind trying

Only one thing needs remembering if we're all to be fine

That's to work real hard try not to complain

Till that sweet love makes me whole again

And I know my work is never done till I can see the good in everyone

Well we crossed that river back and forth

It got too damn hot down there so we headed north

Come white winter we headed south with empty hands

And dry thirsty mouths until that water boils and that desert flood

Till the cities all sleep and the stones cry blood till the lame do walk and the

Blind do see I will give you all thats left of me and

I just work real hard try not to complain till that sweet love makes me whole again

And i know my work is never done till I can see the good in everyone

They say that preacher gonna preach, that their gonna steal

Devil gonna wound and the lord gonna heal

I said don't make your mind up too quick

Which one is which cause they all been known to

Bait and switch but ain't that last temptation always

The worst the way it all boils down to that final verse

I know even when my songs been sung I will still recall where they all begun

And I just work real hard try not to complain till that sweet love make me whole again and

I know my work is never done till I can see the good in everyone
