" Reason to Believe "
" ......Still at the end of every hard earned day,
People find some reason to believe..."
Seen a man standin' over a dead dog
Lyin' by a the highway in a ditch
He's lookin' down kinda puzzled
Pokin' that dog with a stick
Got his car door flung open
He's standin' out on Highway 31
Like if he stood there long enough
That dog'd get up and run
Struck me kinda funny
Seem kinda funny sir to me
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
Now Mary Lou loved Johnny
With a love mean and true
She said, "Baby I'll work for you every day
And bring my money home to you"
One day he up and left her
And ever since that
She waits down at the end of that dirt road
For young Johnny to come back
Struck me kinda funny
Seemed kinda funny sir to me
How at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
Take a baby to the river
Kyle Willima they call him
Wash the baby in the water
Take away little Kyle's sin
In a whitewashed shotgun shack
An old man passes away
Take his body to the graveyard
And over him they pray
Lord won't you tell us
Tell us what does it mean
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
Congregation gathers
Down by the riverside
Preacher stands with his bible
Groom stands waitin' for his bride
Congregation gone, and the sun sets
Behind a weeping willow tree
Groom stands alone and watches
The river rush on so effortlessly
Wonderin' where can his baby be
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
