There's a man that stays on my street,
and his name is Reverend Joe.
He used to hold a congregation,
And he cried out when I asked
He said his life had gone
for sin of flesh and blood
Through this world of sin
There's always somethin' in the way
To the Lord's dear precious hand
They say he served the church
And the Lord was in his eyes
So when the town found out,
Joan was caught wrapped in temptation
On a cold and lonely night
Through this world of sin
There's always somethin' in the way
But to the Lord's de precious
So please say a prayer for Reverend Joe
And the tears he sheds at night
One for everyone who shunned
Cause sometimes a man forgets
That he has angels on his side
And he wonders if they're
that forgets it could fly
Through this world of sin
There's always something in the way
But to the Lord's dear precious hand
I'll find my way to the city
Life here ain't been too pretty,
4.8
