Whoah and I know a	man, he came from my	hometown.

He wore his	passion for his	woman like a thorny	crown.

He said	Dolores, I live in	fear.

My love for	you's so over	powering, I'm	afraid that I	will dis	appear.

I know a woman, (who) became a wife;

These are the very words she uses to describe her life.

She said a good day ain't got no rain

She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed; And I think of things that might have been

And I know a father who had a son.

He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done.

He came a long way just to explain;

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, Then he turned around and he headed home again

Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan.

The information's unavailable to the mortal man.

We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay.

Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away.
