With My Maker I Am One

I am the preacher shoutin' out the news

I am the juke join stomper playin' the blues

I am the Holy Roller givin' Jesus my cares

I am the candy man pushin' my wares

I am the cowboy brandin' my steers

I am the Cherokee brave on the Trail Of Tears

I am the master, whip in my hand

I am the slave from a distant land

After all is said an' done, with my maker, I am one

I am the Okie on a dusty road

I am the banker with the tailor-made clothes

I am the hobo in a cold boxcar

I am the railroad baron with the long cigar

I am the ghetto brother 'bout to lose his lease

I am the landlord cuttin' off the heat

I am the prisoner playin' cards

I am the warden lookin' out on the yard

After all is said an' done with my maker, I am one

I am the doctor savin' the sick

I am the junkie cravin' a fix

I am the homeless child on streets so mean

I am the movie star on the silver screen

I am the champion on the finish line

I am the beggar holdin' up the sign

I am the rookie tryin' to make the Hall of Fame

I am the gangster fixin' the game

After all is said an' done with my maker, I am one

After all is said an' done with my maker, I am one
