The preacher talked to me and he smiled, Said, come and walk with me, Come and walk one more mile. Now for once in your life you´re alone, But you ain´t got a dime, There´s no time for the phone. I´ve just got to get a message to you, Hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, Hold on, hold on. I told him Im in no hurry, But if I broke her heart, Wont you tell her Im sorry. And for once in my life Im alone, And I´ve got to let her know just In time before I go. I´ve just go to get a message to you, Hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, Hold on, hold on. Well I laughed but that didn´t hurt, And it´s only her love That keeps me wearing this dirt. Now Im crying but deep down inside, Well I did it to him, Now it´s my turn to die. I´ve just got to get a message to you, Hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, Hold on, hold on. A a a, a a, a a a, a a, a a a, a a a... I´ve just got to get a message to you, Hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, Hold on, hold on.
