Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band - No Gospel (Live at The Hangar On The Hudson) (Live)

Well I guess I believe in the law of the land
But what's in the truth if it's all secondhand
And how can I find the right place to stand if it's everywhere
And I don't want a highway just a nice stretch of road
And I don't need to see where the rest of it goes
And sometimes I think there ain't no way to know til the gettin' there

And I guess I'm a fool not to care how I die
But who'd be both dead and unsatisfied
And how would I know if I ever tried to make other plans
And for once I'd be free from this sandpaper shell
And I'd be washed in the arms of the hurricane swells
Just to drift back to shore on the tide to be held by my mother's hands

Cause if all my dreams wear tomorrow's shine
If all we have is just borrowed time
Then I won't need no gospel cause I'll follow mine
I won't need no preacher to pray for me
So for now I'll fall like I always do
When it hurts I'll pretend that I always knew
And I'll love in the right ways and the wrong ways too
I'll never ask someone to wait for me

And I guess I'm a fool not to fear what's ahead
While I'm frightened to live in the moment instead
And maybe I'll look back on words left unsaid or unwritten
But in that case I'd rather be bled til I'm dry
Not the blood on my lips or the tear in my eye
Will be drawn on my last breath or lost in a lie just to fit in

And I think I know how the rest of it goes
We'll gaze from the precipice to the side way below
And we'll wave all our hands like there's something to show for us being there
And when all our little hearts cannot bear the goodbyes
And faith on its own cannot let us know why
We'll stumble and cry but the truth is that time doesn't really care

And if all my dreams wear tomorrow's shine
If all we have is just mountains to climb
Then I won't need no gospel cause I'll follow mine
I won't need no angels to play for me
And for now I'll laugh like I always do
When it hurts I'll pretend that it's all brand new
And I'll love in the right ways and the wrong ways too
I'll leave all my pain far away from me

And if all my dreams wear tomorrow's shine
If all we have is just borrowed time
Then I won't need no gospel cause I'll follow mine
I won't need no preacher to pray for me
And for now I'll laugh like I always do
When it hurts I'll pretend that it's all brand new
And I'll love in the right ways and the wrong ways too
I'll leave all my pain far away from me
I'll love in the right ways and the wrong ways too
I'll leave all my pain far away from me
