I woke up this morning Picked my pride off of the floor Poured some cream into my coffee Took the lock off of the door And all the dreams i thought were real Had faded with the night And as i thought, i wondered Who turned on the light
A long ride home, a long ride home It looks like it’s gonna be a long ride home
Then i thought about sweet jesus When he tried to lend a hand But they cut it off despite him And they drove him through the land
And a young man took a ripping whip They nailed him to a stake Then they gave the giver lessons And all that he could take
Will i ever find again The love that once was there Will i ever leave behind this sorrow and despair In my life, in my time have i tried to hurt Have all the children’s voices Vanished from the earth
