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

Then 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 got 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

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

fade out
