Been to 48 states and a few different worlds
Beheld the blind tour guide and a pig wearing pearls
I`ve seen grace under foot people fall in the street
Or use it to wipe their feet
Never the righteous man forsaken
Never the righteous man
Been to 48 states I remember a few
Having higher skylines and a wide angle view
I`ve seen green lands and the natives stay in one place
Peace falling on their face
Where could I be
And stay happy
I hear Hawaii is greener
I hear Alaska is cleaner
Whether here or there the righteous have joy to spare
Been to 48 states and few different worlds
I`ve seen dithered men leave boys, women and girls
Found the church roll full and they`re current with dues
To pay for the empty pews
Never the righteous man forsaken
Never the righteous man.
