The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost

Lights are shining bright, it's always downtown on the road

I have friends that come from outta town asking me to go

They say, "There's so much going on

Why don't you come along and show us around?"

I tell them Karen's not feeling well so I probably shouldn't go out

Besides I've gotta fix a list of things I need to do around the house

Then I hang up the phone, turn the radio back on, and sit back down

I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the morning I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone

I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I've been beat up, I been pushed and shoved but never ever really knocked down

Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends I somehow always pulled out

But the pain of this was more

Than I'd ever felt before, yeah I was broke

I cried, and cried, and cried until I passed out on the floor

Then I prayed, and prayed, and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore

And minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope

I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone

See, I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I hope, I love, I pray, I cry

I heal a little more each day inside

I won't completely heal till I go home

In the morning I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone

I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

One day I'll wake up and I'll be home

With the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
