Ollie told me I m a fool. So I
walked on down the road a mileWent to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpa s kneeAnd what do you think he said to me?
(Chorus:)
When You Awake you will remember ev rythingYou will be
hangin on a string from your... When you believeYou will relieve the only
soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right
Use your days and save your nights
Be careful where you stepand watch wha-cha eat
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
(Repeat Chorus)
Ollie warned me it s a mean old world
The street don t greet yayesit s true;
But what am I supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall
I heard itwhen I was very small.
(Repeat Chorus)
Wash my hand in lye waterI got a date with the
captains daughter. You can go and tell your brother. We sure gonna
love one anotherOh! You
may be right and ya might be wrongI ain t gonna worry all day long.
Snow s gonna come and the frost gonna biteMy old car froze
up last night. Ain t no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the
mornin dead. Oh! And
if I thought it would do any goodI d stand on the rock where Moses stood.
