Hank Williams died when I was five
He sang I`ll never get out of this world alive
Now it`s been a long time since I was that kid
And I`ve seen a lot more than Hank ever did.
I`ve done the down and out in every dark end dive
But I`ll never get out of your love alive
Sam Cook met the woman at the well
She told him that his song was something he could never sell.
And I think he knew a change was gonna come
Still he lived too fast and he died too young
Well, dyin` young I have survived
But I`ll never get out of your love alive.
I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe
When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul
He believed in a God that could raise the dead
Still it`s a mighty dark night to travel he said.
I`ve seen a mighty dark night
And I made that drive
But I`ll never get out
Of your love alive.

Robert Johnson had a hellhound on his trail
Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail
It takes a powerful man to carry that load
When your tryin` to beat the devil to the old crossroads.
I wrestled the devil
Lived to testify
But I`ll never get out
Of your love alive.
