Reason to Believe

Seen a man standin' over a dead dog

Lyin' by the highway in a ditch

Lookin' down sorta puzzled

Pokin' that dog with a stick

He's got his car door flung open

Out on Highway 31

Like if he stood there long enough

That dog'd get up and run

Struck me sorta funny

Sorta funny sir to me

Still at the end of every hard earned day

People find some reason to believe

Now Mary Lou loved Johnny

With a love mean and true

He told I'll work hard everyday

And bring my money home to you

One day he up and left her

And ever since that

She waits down at the end of that road

For young Johnny to return

Lord won't you tell us

Won't you tell us what it means?

Still at the end of every hard earned day

People find some reason to believe

Take a baby to the river

Kyle William they called him

Drop the baby in the water

Wash away little Kyle's sin

In a civil show of sin

An old man passes away

Take the body to the graveyard

And over him they pray

Oh Lord won't you tell us

Won't you tell us what it means?

Still at the end of every hard earned day

People find some reason to believe

Still at the end of every hard earned day

People find some reason to believe
