lyrics

You know that old drunk from the liquor store
Seen him stubblin round town a million times before
Lives in an old Chevy van
Sit in the park with a tin cup in his hand
Save'in up for his gin in a sack
Parks his van on down by the railroad tracks
Well I seen him today shaven and clean
He had a big smile as he said to me...
Hard stuff and a hard life
I found me some peace in Jesus Christ
You know that sweet thing we used to tease at night
Down on East Colfax under the neon signs
She'd turn a trick to get her crack
Make'n a living lie'n flat on her back
She'd take a ride with most any John
But a life like that won't last very long
Well she was dressed like a lady when I seen her today
She had a big smile as I heard her say....
Hard stuff and a hard life
I found me some peace in Jesus Christ
A friend of mine has a beautiful wife
Beautiful children the American dream life
He doesn't cheat steal or lie
But by Friday night he's ready to break down and cry
See's no future in his life
No point in his job no love from his wife
But as we watched his young son climbing a tree
He kissed his wife and he said to me
It's a cold world and a dark night
But I found me some peace in Jesus Christ
Now you can go around being led by the blind
Choked by the thorns cut from the vine
Lookin for the Light
Tryin to find the Way
Do anything cept get down on your knees and pray
But it never to early
And it's never to late
But it's a long winding road and a narrow gate
The lost sheep and the first will be last
Just trust in the Lord to forgive your past
Cause it's a cold world
And a hard life
Without the love of Jesus Christ

You know that old drunk
He got down on his knees forgive me
That sweet thing we used to tease at night
She got down on her knees forgive me
My friend with the beautiful wife
He got down on his knees forgive me
The lost sheep
They got down on there knees forgive me
