The Gospel According To Luke

Dans le style de

Skip Ewing

Paroles

he was an old hand
at livin'
and makin' his way
he smelled like
old whiskey
and he needed a shave

his home was an alley
off eighth avenue
but if you had a minute
or an hour or two
he'd tell you
the gospel
according to luke

luke carried his bible
in a crown royal bag
and he wiped off
his brow
with an old dirty rag

he'd tell you
straight out
just the way
he believed

faith in the good lord
is all that you need
i remember the mornin'
he first preached
to me

he said
give to your brother
if he is in need
offer up thanks
for the gifts
you receive

there's treasure
in heaven
for the generous few
that was the gospel
according to luke

so i bought him
breakfast
at the daylight caf�
biscuits and gravy
hot coffee and eggs

he was hungry
and ragged
hadn't eaten in days
but i was the one there
who felt out of place

when he
folded his hands
bowed his head
and said grace

a week ago wednesday
i saw him again
downtown
at the mission
surrounded by
friends

handin' out
all the change
he'd collected
that week

sayin' you boys
might need this
a lot more than me
i try hard to practice
the words
that i preach

give to your brother
if he is in need
offer up thanks
for the gifts
you receive

there's treasure
in heaven
for the generous few
that was the gospel
according to luke

he was an old hand
at livin'
and makin' his way
he smelled like
old whiskey
and he needed a shave

his home was an alley
off eighth avenue
if you had a minute
or an hour or two
he'd tell you
the gospel
according to luke
