Waylon Jennings - Revelation Lyrics
(Bobby Braddock)Somewhere in Vietnam a 19-year-old soldierWalked out of a barroomAnd he said, I must be seeing thingsThat bourbon hit me like a baseball batIn Bellfast Ireland a little ladyDropped her shovel in her gardenShe raced across the yardAnd ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy, what was that.In Memphis Tennessee a teacherRaised the window, closest the riverAnd the children in her classroom sworeThey'd heard a choir singing down the streetIn Washington DCA private secretary's lips began to quiverAnd the President just put aside his papersAnd rose quickly to his feet.I lay in a cheap motel in the armsOf someone else's womanWhen a loud explosion rocked the roomAnd turned the morning into nightI jumped out of bed and ran into the streetWith hardly any clothes onAs the sky lit up my heart stood stillAnd I could feel my face was turnin' white.All at once the clouds rolled backAnd there stood Jesus Christ in all his gloryAnd I realized the saddest eyesI'd ever seen were lookin' straight at meI guess I was awakened byThe penetrating sounds of my own screamin'And it didn't take me long to stumbleOut of bed and fall down on my knees.As tears rolled down my face I criedDear God, I'm thankful I was only dreamin'And if I never go to hell, LordIt'll be because you scared it out of me...
