Gospel Songtext
von The Eastern

There were so many small voices that day
They said, "Where you going, man? Tryin′ to get away?"
Said, "I don't know, but if I did, I′m gon' get away slow
Days are getting longer 'round here, won′t let you go"
Said, "Won′t let you go"
Well, the seasons stopped draggin' their feet
A little ways back down the track
There′s wolves out in the world now, boys
Better watch your back
Said, "Better watch your back"
'Cause I don′t wanna wait for spring
Don't wanna wait for anything
Maybe if it could slow down a minute
Maybe I′ll wait for you
Maybe I'll wait
Maybe I'll wait for you
Maybe I′ll wait
Well, I said to the voices, "I′ll take the long way outta here"
Well, I said it loud and I said it proud so I make a few things clear
I'm gonna put my house in order, Lord, I′m gonna get my shit together


I'm gonna roll on down this line, I said
Fuck their truth forever, man
Fuck their truth forever
′Cause I don't wanna wait for spring
Don′t wanna wait for anything
Maybe if it could slow down a minute
Maybe I'll wait for you
Maybe I'll wait for you
Maybe I′ll wait
Well, someone a little smarter than me
A whole lot better lookin′
Said, "Never trust the faces you see
In reflections when out walkin'
In reflections when out walkin′"
'Cause there ain′t no one left to trust
When the country's swingin′ right
Well, they keep the windows shut
And they beat their kids at night, Lord
They beat their kids at night
Well, every banker's got a fist
He just keeps it in his wallet
Well, they keep it tied down for the city
They shut the gates and then they lock it
They shut the gates and then they lock it
Well, my friend, forever keep
All your mysteries unshown
'Cause when the world lies down, we′ll keep swingin′
With half their men unknown, I said
Half their men unknown
I'm gonna put my house in order, Lord
I′m gonna get my shit together
I'm gonna roll on down this line, I said
Fuck their truth forever, man
Fuck their truth forever
′Cause I don't wanna wait for spring
Don′t wanna wait for anything
Maybe if it could slow down a minute
Maybe I'll wait for you
Maybe I'll wait for you
Maybe I′ll wait
Maybe I′ll wait
Maybe I'll wait
