Lyrics
… The preacher talked with me and he smiledSaid, Come and walk with meCome and walk one more mileNow for once in your life you’re aloneBut you ain’t got a dimeThere’s no time for the phone
… I’ve just gotta get a message to youHold on, hold onOne more hour and my life will be throughHold on, hold on
… I told him I’m in no hurryBut if I broke her heartThen won’t you tell her I’m sorryAnd for once in my life I’m aloneAnd I’ve gotta let her knowjust in time before I go
… I’ve just gotta get a message to youHold on, hold onOne more hour and my life will be throughHold on, hold on
… Well I laughed but that didn’t workAnd it’s only her loveThat keeps me wearing this dirtNow I’m crying but deep down insideWell I did it to himNow it’s my turn to die
… I’ve just gotta get a message to youHold on, hold onOne more hour and my life will be throughHold on, hold on
… I’ve just gotta get a message to youHold on, hold onOne more hour and my life will be throughHold on, hold on
