Wally Walker spent his last twenty dollars

On lottery tickets at the corner store

He came in without any milk and bread

Well his wife Heather was madder than ever

Said I can't believe you did that you know we're poor

Them tickets just dig us a little deeper

In the whole

He said, you never known



Old Sawmill Kenny kissed his Jenny

Said I'll see you tonight around supper time

He pulled that old Dodge truck out on the road

Well he went around a curve and Kenny had to swerve

To miss a little girl riding a bike

He gave his life to save her

As his maker said it's time to go



You never know what's around the bend

Could be a new beginning

Or it could be the end

You can dream, plan, scream, wish, pray and hope

But you never know



That Pentacost preacher was a part time teacher

At the Mississippi Missionary Bible School

Oh silver tongue Sara was a holy terror

She took him somewhere he didn't want to go

Said he was a sinner and later that winter it showed



You never know what's around the bend

Could be a new beginning

Or it could be the end

You can dream, plan, scream, wish, pray and hope

But you never know



You never know what's around the bend

Could be a new beginning

Or it could be the end

You can dream, plan, scream, wish, pray and hope

But you never know



[Spoken]

That preacher didn't know (you never know)

Kenny didn't know that when he left the house that morning

He wouldn't be home that night

Oh yeah, and Wally Walker

He didn't know he was gonna win

Sixty million dollars last Saturday (you never know)
