Waylon Jennings - Revelation lyrics

Somewhere in Vietnam a 19-year-old soldier Walked out of a barroom And he said, I must be seeing things That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat In Bellfast Ireland a little lady Dropped her shovel in her garden She raced across the yard And ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy, what was that. In Memphis Tennessee a teacher Raised the window, closest the river And the children in her cla**room swore They'd heard a choir singing down the street In Washington DC A private secretary's lips began to quiver And the President just put aside his papers And rose quickly to his feet. I lay in a cheap motel in the arms Of someone else's woman When a loud explosion rocked the room And turned the morning into night I jumped out of bed and ran into the street With hardly any clothes on As the sky lit up my heart stood still And I could feel my face was turnin' white. All at once the clouds rolled back And there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were lookin' straight at me I guess I was awakened by The penetrating sounds of my own screamin' And it didn't take me long to stumble Out of bed and fall down on my knees. As tears rolled down my face I cried Dear God, I'm thankful I was only dreamin' And if I never go to hell, Lord It'll be because you scared it out of me...
