With My Maker I Am One Songtext
von Eric Bibb

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
