The preacher talked
with me and he smiled
Said "come and walk
with me
come and walk
one more mile
Now for once in your life
you're alone
But you ain't got a dime
there's no time
for the phone"
I've just got to get a
message to you
hold on
hold on
One more hour and
my life will be through
hold on
hold on
I told him I'm in no hurry
but if I broke her heart
won't you tell her
I'm sorry
And for once in my life
I'm alone
And I've got to
let her know
just in time before I go
I've just go to get a
message to you
hold on
hold on
One more hour and
my life will be through
hold on
hold on
Well I laughed
but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love
that keeps me
wearing this dirt
Now I'm crying
but deep down inside
Well I did it to him
now it's my turn to die
I've just got to get a
message to you
hold on
hold on
One more hour and
my life will be through
hold on
hold on
I've just got to get a
message to you
hold on
hold on
One more hour and
my life will be through
hold on
hold on
I've just got to get a
message to you
hold on
