The Gospel According To My Ol' Man lyrics
Song information
Artist: Joshua Kadison Album: Delilah Blue
Lyrics
We could hear the gospel all around My dad and me leanin' 'gainst a tree with leaves falling down Now, daddy, he's no holy man. he never taught us how to pray But he saw the questions on my face He looked at me and I turned away
And he said, "believe what you want to, believe what you can 'Cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine.. Love's the only thing worth a damn So take it or leave it, deny or receive it 'Cause maybe it was never really ours to understand." And that right there's the gospel according to my ol' man
The neighbors just put up with us Mrs. jones always tried to save our souls With a fiery look as she held her book And read about him calling all his little lost lambs back to the fold And daddy'd say, "now, elna may, with all due respect
Believe what you want to, believe what you can 'Cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine.. Love's the only thing worth a damn So take it or leave it, deny or receive it 'Cause maybe it was never really ours to understand." And that right there's the gospel according to my ol' man
