Anthology Folkaltone Music

0

[Verse 1]
Everybody says that I'm right
Everybody says that I'm wrong
Everybody goin' to talkin' 'bout religion
When Judgment Day come
Don't give me no Bible
I couldn't follow along

[Chorus]
You know, I'm gonna walk right up and hold His hand
Tomorrow, I'll be waking up in Promised Land
Got to get it right or wrong, just live your life along
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
Just try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone

[Verse 2]
Everybody wants some answers
Everybody wants some answers
Everybody want some answers
Your chances enhances if you dance to this song
May Thy bless you and keep you
And help you makе it along

[Chorus]
Then, you could just walk right up and hold His hand
Tomorrow, you'll be waking up in Promised Land
Got to gеt it right or wrong, just live your life along
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
Just try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone

[Verse 3]
Lots of folks, they're just lazy
Pride themselves to bein' crazy
Then I beg ya' please amaze me, and maybe
[?] baby [?]
Oh, you need to be loved
Give some faith to the stone

[Chorus]
And then, you can just walk right up and hold His hand
Tomorrow, you'll be waking up in Promised Land
Got to get it right or wrong, just live your life along
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
Just try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone

[Verse 4]
Lots of folks look to Jesus
Lots of folks look to Jesus Christ
Lots of folks look to Jesus to relieve us
And save us from the things we done wrong
I ain't saying that's wrong
If you carry your own

[Chorus]
Then, we can walk right up and hold His hand
Tomorrow, we'll be waking up in Promised Land
Got to get it right or wrong, just live your life along
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone

[Verse 5]
Everybody says I'm right
Everybody says I'm wrong
Everybody goin' to talkin' 'bout religion
When Judgment Day come
Don't give me no Bible
I couldn't follow along

[Chorus]
You know, I'm gonna walk right up, I'm gonna hold His hand
Tomorrow, I'll be waking up in Promised Land
Got to get it right or wrong, just live your life along
Try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
Just try to get it right, you're dead then you're gone
