Jesus is calling He's comin' back to gather his jewels Jesus is comin' He's comin' back to gather his jewels Well, we live by the Golden Rule Whoever got the gold, rules. The sun is shinin' Ain't but one train on this track The sun is shinin' Ain't but one train on this track I'm starin' out of the dark woods Tryin' to jump on a monkey's back. Yes, I'm all dressed up Goin' to the country dance I said I'm all dressed up Goin' to the country dance Every day you got to pray for guidance Every day you got to give yourself a chance. There are storms on the ocean Storms out on the mountain too Storms on the ocean Storms out on the mountain too Oh Lord You know I have no friend without you. I'll tell you somethin' Things you never had you'll never miss I'll tell you somethin' Things you never had you'll never miss Tell you something else A great man will kill you with a sword A coward with a kiss.
