WAYLON JENNINGS - REVELATION lyrics

rate me

Somewhere in VietNam a 19-year-old soldier walked out of a barroom

And he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat

In Bellfast Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden

She raced across the yard and ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy what was that

In Memphis Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest the river

And the children in her classroom swore they'd heard a choir singing down the street

In Washington DC a private secretary's lips began to quiver

And the President just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet

I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman

When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night

I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on

As the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face was turnin' white

All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory

And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were lookin' straight at me

I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sounds of my own screamin'

And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees

As tears rolled down my face I cried dear God I'm thankful I was only dreamin'

And if I never go to hell Lord it'll be because you scared it out of me
