Travis McGhee was my best friend Known him for most of my life One night i came in from jackson Found him in the arms of my wife Chorus: I don't know it all Sure don't But jesus, he walked on the water A long time ago Francis keeps kids in the morning She's raised half the folks in this town Her oldest son got life without parole Judge said he shot a man down I don't know it all
Sure don't But jesus said love one another A long time ago Sandy she cooks for the soldiers Played piano for most of her life Sometimes the big pots burn her hands Sometimes she slips with a knife Chorus Folks around here read the bible Folks around here, they believe Folks around here scratch for survival Folks around here never leave Chorus
