Listen to the sound of the night bird singin' I wonder who he calls My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin' And I wonder if I can do it all Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushin' river I'm lookin' out for boulders and falls A woman, she watches from the top of the canyon Hopin' it don't drown us all Help me now, gotta slow down Hear my singin' call Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert I threw a shoe and I had a bad fall, oh, oh Everyone knows there's a price for the askin' Some people just buy themselves a doll And give me strength sweet Jesus, I'm weary from the journey And I need to tell my brothers what I saw Help me now, gotta slow down Hear my singin' call Help me now, we gotta slow down Hear my singin' call Help me now, gotta slow down Hear my singin' call
