Well people listen to me... I'm talking to you truly. I've had nothing but trouble for too long; Sometimes I think that maybe ever since I was a baby I started doing everything wrong. The doctor pulling on me... but I wouldn't give. He asked my Mama, "Are you sure that you want him to live ?" He slapped my behind while I was hanging there upside down. He said, "Glory Hallelujah !" You had it coming to ya !" "It serves you right for messing around !" I had a lady. Oh! What a baby ! But I just wouldn't treat her right. I'd get to drinking and toking and her ears would start smoking When I'd come back home half tight. Late one night when she opened the door I fell into the house, face down on the floor! All she done was just step on me and frown. She said, "Glory Hallelujah !" "You had it coming to ya !" "It serves you right for messing around !" Well when the weekend come I ache to get numb. Wanting honey makes me go down town. I cranked up my Pan Went down to ol' Dirty Dan's and started laying my money down. There was a big ol' loud mouth at the end of the bar. I said, "Hey there, Bubba !" "Who you think you are ?" He just picked me up... Then he knocked me down ! He said, "Glory Hallelujah !" "You had it coming to ya !" "It serves you right for messing around !" Well now, I had a dream. Oh how real it seemed... I was standing at them Pearly Gates. It couldn't have been sweeter Then I heard St. Peter say, "Sorry son, but you've gotta wait." Then he said, "WE don't need all of your spats and spells !" "The best place for you would be down in Hell !" I heard him say as I was on my way Back down... "Glory Hallelujah !" "You had it coming to ya !" "It serves you right for messing around !" That dream messed up my head I almost wet the bed... Thinking about what could lay in store. I fell to my knees saying, "God, Help me please!" "I hear you knocking." "Lord, knock down the door!" Now, when friends put me down and tempt me... I reflect on the cost. I say, "Support your local bloodhound... and go get lost!" I can hardly wait 'till that glorious day comes around When I hear... Glory Hallelujah! You have it coming to ya. That ol' hard head is getting a crown. Glory Hallelujah! You have it coming to ya. Come in...and lay your burdens down. Glory Hallelujah! |

I like this a lot... especially the line about supporting your local bloodhound. *S* You always tell such a great tale! *S* The shoe's rather on the other foot for me... *G* So much of the time, I think maybe I deserve more than a boss that can't be pleased and a paycheck that's spent before I see it. *S* But... even when I'm feeling sorry for myself, I'm depending on mercy and redemption to see that what I get in the hereafter isn't what I deserve... but what I'm given by grace. *G* |
