Intro

Verse 1

Jim came walking down the road

Singing songs and humming on hymn tunes

Though he never set foot in a church on Sunday morning

The smile on his face looked kind of outta place

Considering the looks of his shirt and shoes

Made me wonder what kept him going

Verse 2

Spent most of his lonely young days

Working downtown in the sawmill

And a childhood is something he's never known

All the extra time he had on his mind

Every now and then his heart would spill

And he'd start singing all the way home

Chorus

And he'd sing I, I don't know much

But I know a Love

And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair

Sipping lemonade, love lives there

Verse 3"

Round about that time the bells chimed

And the church doors flew open

And a whole herd of saints came running along Jim's way

Talking about salvation, hope and love

And everything else they didn't know about

And when they saw Jim all of that changed

Now it takes a special kind of man

To avoid a confrontation

And everywhere Jimmy looked he had nowhere to go

They started throwing out names,

Throwing punches, and throwing laughter

And when they were through, blood was dripping from his nose

Chorus

And he sang I, I've heard about blood

I think it stands for Love

And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair

Sipping lemonade, loves lives there

Now Jim knew what he had inside of him

And wouldn't hear nothing different

The moral to the story is he just keeps on keeping on

Now he ain't whitewashed,

You won't find him on the corner praying

He just knows his Love and knows his song

Chorus

And he sings I, I got all I want

'Cause I've got my love

And one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair

Sipping lemonade, love lives there

Yeah, one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair

Sipping lemonade, love lives there

Yeah, one day I'll be sitting up in heaven on an easy chair

Sipping lemonade, love lives there
