Me and Virgil the best of friends
Brothers till the very end
Made a pact one sunny afternoon
Down by Cold Pepper Creek
Fishing holes and skipping rocks
down the railroad tracks we`d talk
`Bout girls and cars and hopes and dreams
The way our lives would be
And we swore we`d never change
We would always be the same
Virgil met the Holy Ghost
A little younger than most
at the Gilappi Pentecostal
Tent revival halter call
Everyone from town was there that day
When Virgil gave his soul away
They were praising as I waited
Outside the gospel hall
Where we swore we`d never change
But it would never be the same
Cause it was later on that year
The winter that our mama died
When I told Virgil I don`t wanna hear
About love and peace inside
Cause if this God you know is good
How could He allow the pain
Life`s been hard enough
So why would I want to be born again
The other night me and Virgil spoke
He travels with the holy ghost
Holding tent revivals
He`s out to seek and save
Virgil says he`s been set free
By Jesus dying on a tree
And I`m not sure what I believe
My questions still remain
Virgil says that when he prays
He asks the Lord that I`d be saved
I guess some things never change
