South St. Hymnal
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 see his father now from time to time
he wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes,
he haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
He says, "God took everything, everything from me."
And all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
and I can't hear the choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
And I breathed my life into this child,
he was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
I was a fool to think I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me,
and carry on my name.
And all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I've been down this road before
and my heart, it took a toll.
When all the good is gone,
been lonesome for so long
and I can't hear that choir singing now
just those chains I drag along.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
I walked down, this road alone
when this town, it felt like home.
