Only God

I ain't from Texas and I ain't from Tennessee

Virginia's in my blood like the fish in the stream

And my daddy wore a Bible, and my brother wore a bruise

When I was taught not to lie too far from the truth

Cause the bridge is gonna burn and the mountain's gonna cry

When the devil has his turn with only God knowing why

I've always been a runner, but I know how to fight

Laid up in a corner, waiting on the morning

But the morning never showed its light

Now I ain't good for nothing and nothing's good for me

But I'll take a little more, raise a glass, pour a drink

Cause the bridge is gonna burn and the mountain's gonna cry

When the devil has his turn with only God knowing why

I ain't born from money, never had a silver spoon

But I can feed myself well… digging down, paying dues

I don't need your foot in the door

I don't need your helping hand

Like I don't need a mirror to know the shape that I'm in

Cause the bridge is gonna burn and the mountain's gonna cry

On the day I get my turn, with only God knowing

With only God knowing why

With only God
