Going through life, the righteous way The only way so the preacher would say You put me on the Jericho road Barefoot and smiling, standing there by the piano Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing Yeah she sang my song and called me by name Well, I hung my head in shame, oh, yeah You sold my years together like a pachtwork quilt Your bougainvillea's bloom it'll never wilt The lessons I remember and some that I forgot Are precious and pure now, like the one honeysuckle drop Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing Yeah she sang my song and called me by name Well, I hung my head in shame, oh, yeah Lord above I'm gonna sing my song with the whippoorwill In a sweet high harmony Though I know just what went with her She's always here with me Always here with me Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing Yeah she sang my song and called me by name Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing Yeah she sang my song and called me by name, oh Starting all over again Yes I'm starting all over again
