Go on ahead and make a stand.
 Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
 And as he lay there no one lent a hand,
 I'm gonna call you up,
 You'll forsake the one you love,
 Though I've left you many times before -
 You are just a sinner.

 I was the one who understands,
 You were my one and only man.
 I was lost, now I'm the winner.
 You stand there waitin' by the shore,
 But I don't come that way no more,
 Because you are just a sinner.

 Today I was gonna hold out my hand,
 Reach up for that light and let it shine.
 Today I have no light to guide me
 Feelin' like the one they left behind,
 So I called you up,
 You left your love and took me away,
 Though I've left you many times before-
 You are just a sinner.

 I am the only one, you see,
 You were the only one for me,
 I was lost, now I'm the winner.
 You'll keep the candle burning bright,
 But I won't be home tonight,
 Because you are just a sinner.

 Today I was gonna conquer the world,
 Go on ahead and make a stand.
 Today I saw an old friend a dyin',
 And as he lay there, no one lent a hand
