Katie don't worry You'll be home before the dawn We ain't seen no trouble Since those troubled times been gone Why would you worry with a face like that? In hard times we found mercy And we ain't looking back You're going to rue the day That you lent your hands to shame Honey I have ways to make you think that it's fine If I don't love you all the time And if the lights go down out in Cooperstown You'll still feel alright Any good sailor Will tell you those scriptures were wrong Come hell or high waters Well lord, we'll just push for home We don't lack conviction We just ain't got the gull To push towards the stormy eye Where the waters are calm
You'd better change your ways I'm not kidding when I say I have days where I think that it's fine If I don't love you all the time I heard your baby drowned out in Tinseltown And you couldn't tow the line You'd best start believing Or you might never find the light You'd better hold them hands up And take them from your eyes How could I buy forgiveness When I ain't got the time? Or walk hand in hand with the lord When I ain't got a dime? You'd better change your ways I've got debts no man could pay Honey I have days where I think that it's fine If we don't love him all the time A plane went down over New York City But we got out alive
