Intro: I’ve never been so hungry, Seems like twenty-two years I’ve been looking for a fight Never stayed in school for long, couldn’t keep my patience on Never had the motivation quite to get my timing right PRE–Chorus 1 + 2: (I want my story to begin)/(I want to celebrate my sins) There’s a time to save up and a time to Spend I’m to young for the past tense All this worrying about what might have been Should have been a preacher man, let the good book show me where to Stand in this earthly half-way home Should have been a farmin’ man, teach my boy to plow the land ) Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go I’ve never been so thirsty to get my soul right But like a summer bug I’ve been burned by the blinding light Never stayed in church for long, pop’lar peoples ‘n white folks songs Sunday morning never was as real as Friday Night PRE–Chorus 2 + Chorus BREAK OVER VERSE CHORDS PRE–Chorus 3 (one strum each): Some day they’ll write my name up on a Stone and I won’t be there to see it Up on Calv’ry calling me I know they’ll say Chorus x 2, second time a-capella
