Ladies Love Outlaws
Somewhere in Vietnam a 19-year-old soldier
 Walked out of a barroom
 And he said, I must be seeing things
 That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat
 In Bellfast Ireland a little lady
 Dropped her shovel in her garden
 She raced across the yard
 And ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy, what was that.


 In Memphis Tennessee a teacher
 Raised the window, closest the river
 And the children in her classroom swore
 They'd heard a choir singing down the street
 In Washington DC
 A private secretary's lips began to quiver
 And the President just put aside his papers
 And rose quickly to his feet.


 I lay in a cheap motel in the arms
 Of someone else's woman
 When a loud explosion rocked the room
 And turned the morning into night
 I jumped out of bed and ran into the street
 With hardly any clothes on
 As the sky lit up my heart stood still
 And I could feel my face was turnin' white.


 All at once the clouds rolled back
 And there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory
 And I realized the saddest eyes
 I'd ever seen were lookin' straight at me
 I guess I was awakened by
 The penetrating sounds of my own screamin'
 And it didn't take me long to stumble
 Out of bed and fall down on my knees.


 As tears rolled down my face I cried
 Dear God, I'm thankful I was only dreamin'
 And if I never go to hell, Lord
 It'll be because you scared it out of me...
