《A Half A Mile A Day》歌词

[00:00:00] A Half A Mile A Day-Johnny Cash

[00:00:04] One night after a concert

[00:00:06] I walked through the streets of the town

[00:00:08] And came upon a little church

[00:00:10] The service was over but the testimonials had just begun

[00:00:13] People caught up in the spririt of the night

[00:00:15] Just didn't want to leave

[00:00:17] So I stepped inside the door

[00:00:18] And sat down by a little old lady in the back

[00:00:22] A man stood up in front and said

[00:00:25] "I just want all of you to know that

[00:00:27] I'm going straight to heaven as fast as I can go

[00:00:30] Like an arrow shot frome a bow" and he sat down

[00:00:34] Another man stood up and said

[00:00:37] I'm sailing right straight into heaven

[00:00:39] Like a giant clipper ship sailing on a sea of blue

[00:00:43] And nothings gonna deter me or keep me from that safe harbor

[00:00:48] He sat down and another man stood up and said

[00:00:50] I'm flying into the portals of heaven on silver wings

[00:00:55] Sailing over all the troubles and trials down below

[00:00:59] Straight on in and he sat down

[00:01:02] The little lady beside me made it to her feet slowly

[00:01:05] And all got quiet as she raised her face

[00:01:08] Not to the preacher or the congregation

[00:01:10] But toward heaven and prayerfully said

[00:01:17] I'm comming Lord for my heavenly reward

[00:01:27] I'm on my way to You can You see me coming through

[00:01:36] Through clouds of persecution and stumbling on the way

[00:01:46] But I expect I'm making about a half a mile a day

[00:01:58] The road to Heaven doesn't have a rapid transit plan

[00:02:08] It's one way with no changes going to the promised land

[00:02:18] But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say

[00:02:26] Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day

[00:02:36] Mmh

[00:02:48] Lord when I let You lead I don't make any speed

[00:02:58] 'Cos I have to stop and touch the ones who need so much

[00:03:08] And then sometimes others pull me off of Your narrow way

[00:03:17] And by my mistakes I barely make a half a mile a day

[00:03:30] But the road to Heaven doesn't have a rapid transit plan

[00:03:39] It's one way with no changes going to the promised land

[00:03:49] But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say

[00:03:58] Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day

[00:04:08] Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day
