Travis McGhee was my best friend
known him for most of my life
one night i came in from jackson
found him in the arms of my wife

chorus:
i don't know it all
sure don't
but jesus, he walked on the water
a long time ago

francis keeps kids in the morning
she's raised half the folks in this town
her oldest son got life without parole
judge said he shot a man down

i don't know it all
sure don't
but jesus said love one another
a long time ago

sandy she cooks for the soldiers
played piano for most of her life
sometimes the big pots burn her hands
sometimes she slips with a knife

chorus

folks around here read the bible
folks around here, they believe
folks around here scratch for survival
folks around here never leave

chorus
