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 night, drivin' home, I pulled over to asked I said, "Man, where'd did it all go wrong?" He said, "Son, do you really wanna know?" My daddy left for another woman, moved off to L.A My momma 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 anymorе It's hard to see all just drivin' by So I just write down, "Jesus Saves" 'causе there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign Ain't no way to fit that on a sign Took him to a dinner, bought him a cup of coffee He asked me if he could borrow him a couple dollars off me Then he told me his story, I told mine He said, "Thanks 'cause most folks around here would never take the time" He said, "I lost my job down at the [?] 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 the train, headed West 'cause I had nowhere else to go It's hard to see all that drivin' by SongtexteSo I just write down, "Jesus Saves" 'cause there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign Ain't no way to fit that on a sign 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 'bout the dream One night, he laid his Harley down Near that Ohio River Bank Me and my first wife tried for kids when we were datin' We even had baby names picked out But little Walter didn't make it It's hard to see all that just drivin' by So I just write down, "Jesus Saves" 'cause there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign Ain't no way to fit that on a sign Aus Songtexte Mania
