Baby sister is in Mallboro girl.

Lord let the sun keep on shining on this heart of mine.
And if I have to face the judge come
Monday morning, I know I'm facing time.

Anymore but I hear it's still running fine.
So while walking down the road and
I keep it moving one step at a time.
Uncle Mac slang a roofing hammer.
He used to turn 8 or 10 squares by noon.
Gracie was an angel sent straight from heaven.
I think the Lord wanted her way too soon.
Well I've struggled alone and spent some time behind walls.
Even took some heart aches along the way.
Woke up places I never been before.
But the good Lord always kept me safe.
I always made it the best I could.
And I left the chips right where they lay.
Lord let the sun keep on shining on this heart of mine.
And if I have to face the judge come
Monday morning, I know I'm facing time.
And he don't drive that Dodge truck
Anymore but I hear it's still running fine.
So while walking down the road and
I keep it moving one step at a time.
