Paul Brandt - Virgil And The Holy Ghost lyrics

rate me

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
