The Gospel According To My Ol` Man — текст песни (Kadison Joshua)

Someone must have left the church doors open.
We could hear the gospel all around.
My dad and me leanin` `gainst a tree with leaves falling down.
Now, daddy, he`s no holy man. He never taught us how to pray.
But he saw the questions on my face.
He looked at me and I turned away.
And he said, Believe what you want to, believe what you can,
`cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine...
love`s the only thing worth a damn.
So take it or leave it, deny or recieve it,
`cause maybe it was never really ours to understand.
And that right there`s the gospel according to my `ol man.
The neighbors just put up with us.
Mrs. Jones always tried to save our souls,
with a fiery look as she held her book
and read about him calling all his little lost lambs back to the fold.
And Daddy`d say, Now, Elna May, with all due respect,
Believe what you want to, believe what you can,
`cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine...
love`s the only thing worth a damn.
So take it or leave it, deny or recieve it,
`cause maybe it was never really ours to understand.
And that right there`s the gospel according to my `ol man.
