A Man Don't Have to Die
He
yelled out from the back row "Look, here preacher, man "We,
all know you're new here but, you need to understand "It
don't really scare us when you yell and shake your fist "You
see we, already know that Hell exists "It's
six months short of thirty years when the boss man lays you off "No
thankin' you no, parachute no, shiny new gold watch "It's
payments that you can't make on a house that you can't sell "See
a, man don't have to die to go to Hell "No
you, don't have to die to go to Hell "So
tell us about them angels how, they fly around and sing "And
tell us how to get there as, we all wanna be "Resting
in the arms of Jesus no, shame or pain or tears "There's
Hell enough to go around down here "It's
a place out by the airport where the girls dance just for you "And
all you feel is drunk and broke and alone when they're through "It's
wakin' up in nothin' but that stale tobacco smell "See
a, man don't have to die to go to Hell "No
you, don't have to die to go to Hell "It's
every other weekend and Wednesdays with your kid "Knowin'
that he'll hate you when he finds out what you did "'Cause
you'd all still be together if you'd loved his mama well "There
ain't no end to the stories we can tell "Yeah
a, man don't have to die to go to Hell "So
tell us about them angels how, they fly around and sing"
