Now Ole told me that I am a fool,
so I walked on down the road a mile and went to a house that brings a smile,
sat upon my grandpa's knee,
what do you think he said to me?
you will remember everything
You'll be hanging on a string,
you will relieve the only soul
That you were born with to grow
Holy showed me the fork in the road
She said take to your left,
go straight to your right
Use your days and save your nights
You sleep with the light and
you will remember everything
You'll be hanging on a string,
you will relieve the only soul
That you were born with to grow
said, it's a mean old world
No the streets won't greet you,
But what am I supposed to do?
Read the writing on the wall
I read it when I was very small
you will remember everything
You'll be hanging on a string,
you've got really each only soul
That you were born with to grow
I wash my hands and I water
You can go and tell your brother
We sure gonna love one another
Oh, it's okay, it's alright
You might be right, you might be wrong
No, I won't worry all night long
And my old car froze up last night
Ain't no reason to hang my head
I could wake up in the morning
If I thought it would do any good
