I was five years old, must've been October Saw a white field thru the windshield Mama pulled over Took me down there, so I could understand She pulled off a boll of cotton Pressed it to my hand By the road, by the side of the road We were standing by the side of the road Church in the country burned to the ground Congregation all gathered around Preacher in his robes Shining red in the sun Held a sign that said It's god's way everyone By the road, by the side of the road They were praying by the side of the road Down the road to Jericho, Jesus came Saw a stranger sitting in a tree and called him by name He called him down, took his hand What comes around Can change a man Baghdad to Basra, supply-line mission They were riding in silence, hoping and wishing For a little bit of luck just to bring them back home Who's watching you pass, Lord you never know By the road, by the side of the road Who's watching from the side of the road By the road, by the side of the road Who's waiting by the side of the road |
