Going through life, the righteous way
The only way so the preacher would say
You put me on the Jericho road
Barefoot and smiling, standing there by the piano

Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well, I hung my head in shame, oh, yeah

You sold my years together like a pachtwork quilt
Your bougainvillea's bloom it'll never wilt
The lessons I remember and some that I forgot
Are precious and pure now, like the one honeysuckle drop

Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well, I hung my head in shame, oh, yeah
Lord above

I'm gonna sing my song with the whippoorwill
In a sweet high harmony
Though I know just what went with her
She's always here with me
Always here with me

Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well, I dreamed I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name, oh

Starting all over again
Yes I'm starting all over again
