lyrics

Ay yoo
Willie Nelson in leather black boots
Dug Georgia, but she done refused him
Stomp stomp clap and she don't come back
Heard she drove to Washington

Ay me
Mama, I left yesterday cause it came my turn to leave
Fiddle and banjo
Riding shotgun in the passenger seat
Stomp stomp clap, if I don't come back
No I got gone

Singing this hymn, called Amazing Grace
Hear the music fading
If I ain't good, then I better get saved
Before God forgets my name

Ay yoo
Sunny don't count the reasons as law, gospel, nor truth
If you go leave with a peaceful step in your shoes
Stomp stomp clap and don't look back
and know you ain't the only one

Singing this hymn, called Amazing Grace
Hear the music fading
If you ain't good, then you better get saved
Before God forgets your name
