Not the Same

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You Took a Trip and Climbed a Tree

At Robert Sledge's Party

And There You Stayed 'till Morning Came

And You Were Not the Same After That

You Gave Your Life to Jesus Christ

And After All Your Friends Went Home

You Came Down, You Looked Around

And You Were Not the Same After That

(Ahhh Ahhh)

You Were Not the Same After That

(Ahhh Ahhh)

You Were Not the Same After That

You See 'em Drop Like Flies From the Bright Sunny Skies

They Come Knocking At Your Door With This Look in Their Eyes

You've Got One Good Trick and You're Hanging On You're Hanging On...

To It

You Took the Word and Made It Heard

And Eased the People's Pain and For That

You Were Idolised, Immortalised

And You Were Not the Same After That

Walking Tall, You'd Bought It All

And You Were Not the Same After That

Till Someone Died On the Waterslide

And You Were Not the Same After That

You See 'em Drop Like Flies From the Bright Sunny Skies

They Come Knocking At Your Door With This Look in Their Eyes

You've Got One Good Trick and You're Hanging On You're Hanging On to It

(Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh)

(You Were Not the Same!)

You See 'em Drop Like Flies From the Bright Sunny Skies

They Come Knocking At Your Door With This Look in Their Eyes

You've Got One Good Trick and You're Hanging On You're Hanging On

You're Hanging On you're Hanging On
