TEARDROPS OF BLOOD
[ song will load and play automatically ]
Leroy lives in a cardboard box
Down by the mission bell
Where saints refuse to go
And the sinners wish him well
Forced to carry his own cross
While we drive nails in his coffin
You might say it is routine
It happens far to often
A decorated soldier
Veteran of the war
Who would've thought that he would be
Among the sick and poor?
The preacher-man wags his head
While the rich man turns away
His mother looks on weeping
Teardrops of blood are falling
Jesus sang a Samaritan song
Down by the mission bell
Where saints refused to go
And the sinners wished him well
Forced to carry his own cross
While we drove nails in his coffin
You might say it was routine
It happened far to often
A decorated soldier
Veteran of the war
Who would've thought that he would be
Among the sick and poor?
The preacher-man wagged his head
While the rich man turned away
His mother looked on weeping
Teardrops of blood were falling
Leroy lives in a cardboard box
Down by the mission bell
Where saints refuse to go
And the sinners wish him well
Seems no one down here gives a damn
Though the stone's been rolled away
Our father looks on weeping
Teardrops of blood are falling
