Wayfarin' Stranger
Spearhead

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

Travelin through this world of woe

Ther's no sickness toll nor sorrow

In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm goin' there no more to roam

I'm just a goin' over Jordan

I'm just a goin' over home

Ya see I'm a concrete buffalo soldier

I gotta chip it's like boulder in my shoulder

Look in my eyes and you can see a red marble

Like Nostradamus I'm the promise of tomorrow

Traveling the city with my Mexican cargo

Cotton mouth, I take a dry swallow

To the nearest corner watering hole

The bartender with the deed for my soul

Satisfaction no I can't get no

Lotsa bad habits that I need to control

Recite the psalms but no emancipation

Church for food and liquor stores for salvation

Some day I'll make

It home to see my father

He saw the man who shot the coal mine's daughter

And if I had a dime for every gamble I risked

I could buy a diamond for the woman I miss ya see

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

Ya check with me ya checking in with the danger

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

Roaming the streets seeking Jesus in a manger

I'm goin' there to see my mother

She said she'll meet me when I come

I'm just a goin' over Jordan I'm just a goin' over home

Jordan river roll river Jordan roll river Jordan roll on

Gee ain't it funny - how time slips away I wanna

Rewind the tape to see my life replay

I soak up the sun, just as a reminder

That I was born a sick side winder

Call me a vagrant, no machine to read your fax

I'll never pledge allegiance to your blood sweat and taxes

Don't ever mistake me being docile for contentment

Don't ever mistake my anger for resentment

It's just the calm before the storm that's why I'm quite

Ya always mistaking an upraising for a race riot

You can take my life, but there's no escape

'cause you can't shoot yer way through the pearly gates

So swing low sweet cadillac

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low pink Cadillac

Stepping over Jordan I roam

Ya see

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

Ya check with me ya checking in with danger

I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

Roaming the streets seeking Jesus in a manger

I'm goin' there to see my father

I'm goin' there no more to roam

I'm just a goin' over Jordan

I'm just a goin' over home

When the road is callin' yonder

When the road is callin' yonder

When the road is callin'

When the road is callin' yonder

I'll be there

I'm goin' there to see my father

I'm goin' there no more to roam

I'm just a goin' over Jordan

I'm just a goin' over home
