Lilies of the Field

歌詞

Billy had a yearning and an ache inside So he got himself a Harley and he learned to ride Purred just like a baby, low and sweet and true And he aimed it at the place where the blacktop turns to blue Penny was a waitress down in Tupelo They said that she was trouble, I don't really know But something in her spirit touched something in his soul And he took her to his heart and he never let her go She said, "If I had an ounce of courage I would leave this town" Life'll get you nowhere 'til they put you in the ground But the lilies of the field, they neither reap nor sow I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico Go rollin' down the highway where life's secrets are revealed Dancin' in the wind like the lilies of the field Penny had a secret growin' deep inside And she'd never known a man to love another's child Somewhere west of Tucson she just ran out of time So she made a quick decision and she made him walk the line She said, "If you had an ounce of courage you would take a stand" Don't nobody argue with a pistol in your hand Oh, the lilies of the field they neither reap nor sow I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico Go rollin' down the highway where life's secrets are revealed Dancin' in the wind like the lilies of the field Billy pleaded guilty, ninety nine to life Penny disappeared into the desert night Then she took his pistol out on hwy 2 And she aimed it at the place where the blacktop turns to blue She said, "If you had an ounce of courage you would leave this town" Life'll get you nowhere til they put you in the ground Oh, the lilies of the field they neither reap nor sow I wanna buy me a Winnebago and a map of Mexico Go rollin' down the highway where life's secrets are revealed Dancin' in the wind like the lilies of the field
