Standard (EADGBE)

One gonna heal my body, another gonna heal my pain

One gonna settle me down and bring me back up again

I'm gonna put my family back together again

One gonna hold my woman, another gonna hold my job

One gonna help me get up, another gonna help me stop

On gonna help me talk right, one gonna lay me down to sleep

One gonna hold my guts and another gonna hold my bones

One gonna keep me warm and another gonna keep my cold

One gonna bring religion right from a coleman stove

One gonna help me keep and another gonna help me take

One gonna run me down a hail of bullets in my wake

You're gonna keep my soul it was your to have long ago

I'm gonna buckle my belt around the ceiling pipe

I'm gonna buckle my knees and one gonna lock them up tight

I'm gonna hold the pen while you drag my arm across the page

One gonna hold the memories another gonna close the door

One gonna leave me restless another wanting more

You're gonna keep my soul it was your to have long ago
