The preacher talked to 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.
