lyrics

CARPENTER SKILLS
 
Well I’m out here
Out here on the road
Seemed to wonder
Who’s watching over my soul
Feels like I’ve been out here
For ten years in a row
Lord I wonder
Where this road really goes
Man I wonder who knows
 
And man I don’t know
What makes a man even go
Makes a body want to
Jeopardize his immortal soul
Jesus you sent for
All of us in sinner’s clothes
God I know you didn’t want to
Give up your precious ghost
For our petty souls
 
Jesus you sent for
All of us in peasants clothes
With the skill of a carpenter
For our fixer-upper souls
And lord I don’t know
Just where eternity goes
Seems like just yesterday
I was washing clean this same soul
Sure seems so
