Battered and torn
still I can see the light
tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight
Friend of mine
what can't you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Hope is alive
while we're apart
only tears
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound
When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone

Are You Sure - Willie Nelson
Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be
These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be
You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of life
You've caused so many tears and misery
Look around you, take a good look
And tell me what you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be
Don't let my tears persuade you, I had hoped I wouldn't cry
But lately, teardrops seem a part of me
Oh, look around you, take a good look
At all the lonely used-to-be's
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

Wash Away by Joe Purdy
I got troubles, lord, but not today
'Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I have sins, lord, but not today
'Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I have friends, lord, but not today
'Cause they done washed away
They done washed away
Lord, I've been crying alone
I've been crying alone
No, no more crying alone
no, no more crying here.
We get lonely, lord, but not today
Cause we're gonna wash away
We're gonna wash away
I got troubles, lord, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
This old river's gonna take them away.
'Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I have sins, lord, but not today
'Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I have friends, lord, but not today
'Cause they done washed away
They done washed away
Lord, I've been crying alone
I've been crying alone
No, no more crying alone
no, no more crying here.
We get lonely, lord, but not today
Cause we're gonna wash away
We're gonna wash away
I got troubles, lord, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
This old river's gonna take them away.
