Lyrics:

[verse]
man You Should Have Seen Me Way Back Then
i Could Tell A Tale, I Could Make A Spin
i Could Tell You Black Was White I Could Tell You Day Was Night
not Only That I Could Tell You Why
back Then I Could Really Tell A Lie
well Id Hire A Kid To Say He Was Lame
then Id Touch Him And Make Him Walk Again
then Id Pull Some Magic Trick Id Pretend To Heal The Sick
i Was Taking Everything They Had To Give
it Wasnt All That Bad A Way To Live
well Im In This Desert Town And Its Hot As Hell
but No Ones Buying What I Got To Sell
i Make My Lame Kid Walk I Make A Dumb Guy Talk
im Preaching Up A Storm Both Night And Day
but Everyone Just Turns And Walks Away
well I Can See That Im Only Wasting Time
so I Head Across The Road To Drink Some Wine
this Old Man Comes Up To Me He Says I Seen You On The Street
youre Pretty Good If I Do Say Myself
but The Guy That Come Through Here Last Month He Was Something Else
instead Of Calling Out For Fire From Above
he Just Gets Real Quiet And Talks About Love
and Ill Tell You Something Funny He Didnt Want Nobodys Money
now Im Not Exactly Sure What This All Means
but Its The Damndest Thing I Swear Ive Ever Seen
well Since That Time Every Town Is The Same
i Cant Make A Dime, I Dont Know Why I Came
i Decide Ill Go And Find Him And Find Out Whos Behind Him
he Has Everyone Convinced That Hes For Real
well I Figure We Can Work Us Out A Deal
so He Offers Me A Job And I Say Fine
he Says Ill Get Paid Off On Down The Line
well I Guess Ill String Along Dont See How Too Much Can Go Wrong
as Long As He Pays My Way I Guess Ill Follow
were Headed For Jerusalem Tomorrow
