True Believer

(K Brown)

My brother he's a God fearin' man
My Momma been doin' alright
Since Daddy's 10 years buried
might see him bye and bye

You ain't no true believer
til you been washed in blood
least that's what momma told me
guess I ain't been washed enough

By day I work the furnace
that makes the cold steel hard
from fire good and hot as hell
but just make you old and tired

At night I hear them haulers
as they go rollin' by
My baby's good and gone
and I hang my head and cry

Which way do that highway run (lord,lord)
Which way do that highway run
come mornin' time I'm leavin'
And I'll be good and gone


(reference Charlie Jordon - Dollar Bill Blues)
