The closer I get to my home Lord the more I want to be there There´ll be a gathering of loved ones and friends Lord you know I want to be there
There´ll be a mixture of teardrops and flowers crying and talking for hours ´Bout how wild that I was, and if I´d listened to them I wouldn´t be there
Well, there´s old Charlie Toll, they threw away the mold when they made him And Jimmy McCline, it looks like the wine´s finally laid him And Billie McRae, that I could beat any day in a card game And Bessie McNeal, but her tears are real, I can see pain There´s a mixture of teardrops and flowers crying and talking for hours ´Bout how wild I was, and if I´d listened to them I wouldn´t be there
Lord thanks for ride I got a feeling inside that I know you And if you see your way, you´re welcome to stay, ´cause I´m going to need you
There´s a mixture of teardrops and flowers crying and talking for hours ´Bout how wild that I was, and if I´d listened to them I wouldn´t be there
