Lyrics
The clothes don't make the man Keith anderson/arlis albritton (ascap)
My brother's got a black & white picture with numbers across his chest He'll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at it's best He took the blame to save his best friend's name At a job that went bad down in birmingham Yeah, but he don't mind that orange suit 'cause he knows The clothes don't make the man
Two cells down from where my brother lays his head The walls echo "amazing grace" & quotes of scripture that man once read When he preyed upon the little souls of all those boys That didn't understand You can wear a robe that's laced with gold But the clothes don't make the man
Chorus Designer names, rips and stains, shouldn't tell you who I am 'Cause sometimes angels hide their wings And the devil's dressed like a lamb Yeah, the clothes don't make the man
They all laughed and called him names when he said that he was sent To be their king You don't even own a home, you've got simple clothes And sandals on your feet Stripped of his pride, he was crucified up on a cross with nails of hatred In his hands But he rose from that grave in three days Yeah, the clothes don't make the man
Repeat chorus
