Got to Get a Message to You

The preacher talked with 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 just gotta 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, "I'm in no hurry

But if I broke her heart

Then won't you tell her that I'm sorry"

And for once in my life, I'm alone

And I've got to let her know

Just in time before I go

I just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

I laughed, but that didn't hurt

And it's only her love

That keeps me wearing this dirt

Now I'm crying, but deep down inside

Well, I did it to him

Now it's my turn to die

I just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

I just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on
