The Gospel According To My Ol' Man

The Gospel According To My Ol' Man - Joshua Kadison

Written by：Joshua Kadison

Someone must have left the church doors open

We could hear the gospel all around

My dad and me leaning against a tree with leaves falling down

Now daddy he's no holy man he never taught us how to pray

But he saw the questions on my face

He looked at me and I turned away

And he said believe what you want to believe what you can

'Cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine

Love's the only thing worth a damn

So take it or leave it deny or receive it

'Cause maybe it was never really ours to understand

And that right there's the gospel according to my old man

The neighbors just put up with us

Mrs Jones always tried to save our souls

With a fiery look as she held her book

And read about him calling all

His little lost lambs back to the fold

And daddy's say now elan may with all due respect

Believe what you want to believe what you can

'Cause all I ever really learned from this life of mine

Love's the only thing worth a damn

So take it or leave it deny or receive it

'Cause maybe it was never really ours to understand

And that right there's the gospel according to my old man

So take it or leave it deny or receive it

'Cause maybe it was never really ours to understand

And that right there's the gospel

And that right there's the gospel

And that right there's the gospel according to my old man

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

Take it or leave it deny or receive it

And that right there's

And that right there's the gospel

According to my old my old man
