The Clothes Don`t Make The Man
Keith Anderson/Arlis Albritton (ASCAP)
My brother`s got a black & white picture with numbers across his chest
He`ll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at it`s best
He took the blame to save his best friend`s name
At a job that went bad down in Birmingham
Yeah, but he don`t mind that orange suit `cause he knows
The clothes don`t make the man
Two cells down from where my brother lays his head
The walls echo "Amazing Grace" & quotes of scripture that man once read
When he preyed upon the little souls of all those boys
That didn`t understand
You can wear a robe that`s laced with gold
But the clothes don`t make the man
Chorus
Designer names, rips and stains, shouldn`t tell you who I am
`Cause sometimes angels hide their wings
And the devil`s dressed like a lamb
Yeah, the clothes don`t make the man
They all laughed and called him names when he said that he was sent
To be their king
You don`t even own a home, you`ve got simple clothes
And sandals on your feet
Stripped of his pride, he was crucified up on a cross with nails of hatred
In his hands
But he rose from that grave in three days
Yeah, the clothes don`t make the man
