Song Lyrics - Wait For Me Lord
I was thinking about Toy Caldwell and his brother
One died young and was followed by the other
They played us songs of the south
But now they’re known only by word of mouth
Today I was almost rear-ended but the car swerved
I was mad but realized a death row pardon was served
It’s an hour later and I’m still feeling queasy
Fifty years of livin’ almost ended all too easy
Did I get a wake-up call
Did God just get me to thinkin?
My life almost ended
I almost stopped breathin’
I realized how little I’ve done
I need to get my life turned around
I’ve lived a long time
But six more inches and I'd a been hell bound
I’m the kind of guy who gets goose bumps from a song
My eyes start to water and I wonder what’s wrong
But I know it’s because I’m a sentimental man
And for Toy Caldwell I’m much more than a fan
My children were at the swim meet again
When it’s over we know another year is about to end
It seems we need the children to bring us all together
We get out of the house and remember life ain’t forever
Did I get a wake-up call
Did God just get me to thinkin?
My life almost ended
I almost stopped breathin’
I realized how little I’ve done
I need to turn my life around
I’ve lived a long time
But six more inches and I'd a been hell bound
Lord help me
I just want to know why
I want to go to heaven
But I don’t want to die
I need to understand
Why this is so
I want to be with you
But I don’t want to go
Wait for me Lord
I’m not ready just yet
Wait for me Lord
Tell me you won’t forget
Wait for me Lord
I'm not ready just yet
Wait for me Lord
My mind still isn't set
Wait for me Lord
It's just for a little longer
Wait for me Lord
I need to get a little stronger
