A-a-and the body becomes frail, the spirit becomes stronger, because you have something to look forward to
I guess its been a long time a comin' now
I been waiting for the rain to wash you down
Prayin' for change, prayin' that God keeps you, keeps you around
The doctors been sayin' complications happen
Been sayin' we should probably slow it down
Been tellin' you everything's fine, then tellin' everybody else
That you're running out of time
Running out of time
So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there
Waiting for the day we meet again
And you can save us a place, past them pearly white gates
A place for friends, yeah a place for friends
You can find us on a porch rememberin' the good times
And all the funny things you used to say
Speaking in rhymes from time to time
And then doin' your best to show us all the way
And then you went on your way
So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there
Waiting for the day we meet again
And you can save us a place, past them pearly white gates
A place for friends, yeah
So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there
(Ooooo yeah)
Waiting for the day we meet again
(Ooooo yeah)
And you can save us a place past them pearly white gates (Ooooo-yeah)
A place for friends, yeah a place for friends
(Ooooo-yeah)
Yeah, a place for friends
(Ooooo-yeah)
Yeah, a place for friends
(Ooooo-yeah)
