The preacher talked to me and he smiled Said Come and walk with me go and walk one more mile Now for once in your life you're alone but you ain't got a dime there's no time for the phone I've just gotta get a message to you hold on hold on One more hour and my life will be through hold on hold on I told him I'm in no hurry but if I broke her heart won't you tell her I'm sorry And for once in my life I'm alone and I've got to let her know just in time before I go I've just gotta get a message to you hold on hold on One more hour and my life will be through hold on hold on Well I laughed but that didn't hurt and it's only her love keeps me wearing this dirt Now I'm crying but deep down inside well I did it to him now it's my turn to die I've just gotta get a message to you hold on hold on One more hour and my life will be through hold on hold on I've just gotta get a message to you hold on hold on One more hour and my life will be through hold on hold on
