Rock Me Lord - The Journeymen

Sixteen days in Bethlehem Peddling dope to keep drinking wine Pulling women, making gigs Steerin' clear and doin' fine I moved on down to Galilee Trying to find a few new friends I'm throwin' aces everywhere Trying to forget the end So hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You I'm cruising through Jerusalem Dust is flyin' everywhere I'm dodging bullets, making time On the level, in the square They say you kissed your best friend's hand They say you did it for his love They say he got in agony The hand fits well into the glove Woah, hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Ohh, hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Hold me Lord, oh hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known? "Tell me, Lord" What did I ever do to deserve loving You? And the kindness You've shown?

The things that I love, and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they're not mine not mine at all. Jesus only lets me use them to brighten my life. So remind me remind me dear Lord. Roll back the curtain of memory now and then. Show me where you brought me from and where I could have been. Just remember I'm a human, and humans forget. So remind me, remind me dear Lord. Nothing good have I done to deserve God's own son. I'm not worthy of the scars in his hands. Yet he chose the road to calvary to die in my stead. Why he loved me I can't understand. Roll back the curtain of memory now and then. Show me where your brought me from and where I could have been. Just remember I'm a human and humans forget. So Remind me, remind dear Lord.

Chain's gettin' tight Sun's beatin' down Breathin' hard like a hurricane Ready to ride Ready to Fly Bleedin' oil and gasoline Same faded lights The same faded stars Haunt his town she said I'd never break And If I stare too long at these backroads we cut up I'll die here in this clay So I pray Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Ride Lord Let Me Go Into the Open Wide Lord Let Me Run There's a 1000 miles of burnin' desert blacktop waitin' Headin' out past the Cali line If I can tug my jeans on and top the tank full of diesel I can make it there just in time She's probably tan Diggin' toes in the sand Makin' some heart skip a beat So tell the boys at the bar if I get that far "Raise a cold can up for me" Set me free Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Ride Lord Let Me Go Into the Open Wide Lord Let Me Run In this town a day can fade into a year And folks round here do what they're told By midnight I'll be 30 truck stops from here And 2 hours from that LA coast Her hair shinin' like gold Run Lord Let Me Ride Lord Let Me Go Into the Open Wide Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Run Lord Let Me Run
