Lyrics
Man I Always Wanted To Meet
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.
I was thrilled to death today that Babe Ruth signed my baseball bat
I'll always remember that the greatest one of all
When I was out in Hollywood John Wayne tipped his cowboy hat
And when I got his autograph I felt ten feet tall
I met great Hank Williams one night backstage at the Opry House
He looked down and grinned when I said I'm your biggest fan
And I was there the day when JFK rode into Dallas
I walked up to the limousine and shook his mighty hand
I've met the famous and I've met the best
But there's one man I've never met that outshines all the rest
And he's one man I always wanted to meet
He's the king of kings and he's a prince of peace
If I ever get the chance I'll fall down at his feet
He's one man I always wanted to meet
Jesus is the man I've always wanted to meet
