South St. Hymnal
I see his father now from time to time*
He wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes,
He haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
He says, "God took everything, everything from me."
And all the good is gone
Been lonesome for so long
And I can't hear the choir singing now
Just those chains I drag along.
And I breathed my life into this child,
He was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
I was a fool to think I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me,
And carry on my name.
And all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I've been down this road before
and my heart, it took a toll.
When all the good is gone,
been lonesome for so long
and I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I walked down, this road alone
when this town, it felt like home.
He wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes,
He haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
He says, "God took everything, everything from me."
And all the good is gone
Been lonesome for so long
And I can't hear the choir singing now
Just those chains I drag along.
And I breathed my life into this child,
He was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
I was a fool to think I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me,
And carry on my name.
And all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I've been down this road before
and my heart, it took a toll.
When all the good is gone,
been lonesome for so long
and I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I walked down, this road alone
when this town, it felt like home.
