Translation
Bilingual
I flipped my car out on the turnpike
The doctor said I died
Found myself with Jesus Christ
Way up in the sky
I said am I going to Hell? He said
"You ain't the worst we seen
It ain't your time, lay off whiskey
And remember this one thing
Holy rolling preaching
Just ain't worth a damn
What matters most in life is how you treat your fellow man
When you find another 'ism to revolve your life around
Before you blow your whistle
Stop that train and let me down."
He said, "Some loudmouth televangelists
They got a lot to say
About walking in my footsteps
And how they'll show you the way
But their fancy cars and swimming pools
And mansions on T.V
Sure don't look like any manger
I've ever seen
And holy rolling preaching
Just ain't worth a damn
What matters most in life is how you treat the least of men
When you find another 'ism to revolve your life around
Before you blow your whistle
Stop that train and let me down."
And some will come from college
With more dollars left than sense
And higher education can be good, but that depends
You don't have to go to India
To find the golden rule
Or intentional communities of educated fools
And high-minded politics
Just ain't worth a damn
What matters most in life is how you treat your fellow man
When you find another 'ism to revolve your life around
Before you blow your whistle
Stop that train and let me down."
He said, "Pat, you'd better wake up now
You've got things to do
One more thing before you go
Your language could improve
When you bust your knuckles on a wrench
You don't have me to blame
Quit teaching' new words to the neighbor's kids
And hollering out my name
And holy rolling preaching
Just ain't worth a damn
What matters most in life is how you treat your fellow man
When you find another 'ism to revolve your life around
Before you blow your whistle
Stop that train and let me down
