The preacher talked to me and he smiled He said "Come and walk with me, walk one more mile" And for once in your life, you're alone And you ain't go no dime, no time for the phone I've just gotta get a message to you Hold on, hold on One more hour and my life will be through Hold on, hold on I told him I'm in no hurry And if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry? For once in my life, I'm alone And I've got to let her know just in time before I go I've just gotta get a message to you Hold on, hold on One more hour and my life will be through Hold on, hold on Well I laughed, but no that didn't hurt And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt Now I'm crying, but deep down inside Well I did it to him... now It's my turn to die I've just gotta get a message to you Hold on, hold on One more hour and my life will be through Hold on, hold on
