Je score:
When pain didn't reign and love was king We could wash our hand of most anything But i inherited my father's sin I was born and raised in the midst of it Before a preacher spoke those words in red And holy men would bow their heads Before I was the man I am The oldest son of Abraham The day I drowned in fire and stone I found out what I'd always known I still remember, I still see A heart that trusts, and a voice that sings When pain didn't reign and love was king My daddy was a gambler, a drinking man He showed his love with the back of his hand I never saw him smile, not a flicker of grace Think he buried em with mamma in the Tennessee clay The day I drowned in fire and stone I found out what I'd always known I still remember, I still see A heart that trusts, and a voice that sings When pain didn't reign and love was king The day I drowned in fire and stone I found out what I'd always known But I still remember, I still see A heart that trusts, and a voice that sings When pain didn't reign and love was king A heart that trusts, and a voice that sings Like when pain didn't reign and love was king
