Karaoké Jesus Saves Riley Green

There was a man

I used to pass on my way into town

He was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down

I often wondered how he ended up like that

So one day drivin' home

I pulled over to ask

I said Man where'd it all go wrong

He said Son do you really wanna know

My daddy left for another woman

Moved off to L.A.

My mama fought hard against that cancer

She died when I was eight

I finished school

My country shipped me off to war

When I came home my whole world didn't love me anymore

It's hard to see all that when you're drivin' by

So I just write down Jesus Saves 'cos there ain't no way

I can fit that on a sign

I can't fit that on a sign

I took him to a diner

I bought him a cup of coffee

He asked me if he could bum a couple dollars off me

He told me his story

I told mine

He said Thanks 'cos most folks around here would never take the time

He said

I lost my job down at the mill when that factory closed

Army stopped sendin' me them checks

The bank took everything I own

Hitchhiked my way up to Chicago

The nights were too damn cold

I hopped a train, headed West 'cos I had nowhere else to go

It's hard to see all that drivin' by

So I just write down Jesus Saves 'cos there ain't no way

I can fit that on a sign

There ain't no way to fit that on a sign

I probably would've wrote down a little more if I could've find a bigger piece of cardboard

My brother Walter was my hero but he was bad to drink

One night he laid his Harley down near that Ohio Riverbank

Me and my ex wife tried for kids when we were datin'

Hell we even had baby names picked out but little Walter didn't make it

It's hard to see all that drivin' by

So I just write down Jesus Saves 'cos there ain't no way

I can fit that on a sign

I can't fit all that on a sign
