Shoeshine Johnny's just doin' time   Settin' up shop at the five and dime   Seen a whole lot of miles... got a few more to go   Everyone says he's a humble man   Tell ya bout life like no one can   With a wink and a smile he'd let ya know   All kinda people come from miles around   Just to hear Johnny tell his stories   Talk about the days gone by   Talkin' bout future glory   Round round round lie goes   Tell you how the good Lord knows   He'd be shinin' most every day   Sit right down listen what he says      Some like to play with fire   But there's a love that's higher   And you know the Lord's been good to me for sure   Hard times can come and go   But one thing for sure I know   When I die   The richest man I'll be      Lookin' back I remember the times   laughin-and-a-jokin-and-a-feelin fine   Ol’ Johnny pick You up when you're feelin' low   His words hang on in my memory   The dusty Ol’ book that he read to me   Even now I'm grown they speak to me   What gains a man to win the world   But lose his very soul   Riches of the Promised Land   Much better than silver and gold   Oh how wise is he that makes the Lord his company   Fearless of the days to come   Knowin' that the battles won      Listen son lie said to me   Jesus died to set us free   You're old enough it's time to chose   With the Lord you'll never lose   Beat them everlasting blues      Proverbs 29:23 / Matthew 11:25 / Revelation 22:12
