Intro:
Verse 1:
Jim came walking down the road
Singing songs and humming on hymn tunes
Though he never set foot in a church on Sunday morning
The smile on his face looked kind of outta place
Considering the looks of his shirt and shoes
Made me wonder what kept him going
Verse 2:
Spent most of his lonely young days
Working downtown in the sawmill
And a childhood is something he's never known
All the extra time he had on his mind
Every now and then his heart would spill
And he'd start singing all the way home
Chorus:
And he'd sing I, I don't know much
But I know a Love
And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair
Sipping lemonade, love lives there
Verse 3"
Round about that time the bells chimed
And the church doors flew open
And a whole herd of saints came running along Jim's way
Talking about salvation, hope and love
And everything else they didn't know about
And when they saw Jim all of that changed
Now it takes a special kind of man
To avoid a confrontation
And everywhere Jimmy looked he had nowhere to go
They started throwing out names,
Throwing punches, and throwing laughter
And when they were through, blood was dripping from his nose
Chorus
And he sang I, I've heard about blood
I think it stands for Love
And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair
Sipping lemonade, loves lives there
Now Jim knew what he had inside of him
And wouldn't hear nothing different
The moral to the story is he just keeps on keeping on
Now he ain't whitewashed,
You won't find him on the corner praying
He just knows his Love and knows his song
Chorus
And he sings I, I got all I want
'Cause I've got my love
And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair
Sipping lemonade, love lives there
Yeah, one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair
Sipping lemonade, love lives there
Yeah, one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair
Sipping lemonade, love lives there
