Lyrics
Only Time and God Know ...written by John Jump
This road is hard, so very hard
Pot holes and gullies flat my tires.
It’s a rocky road full of gravel and grit
And I lose my traction, I start to slip.
But there’s miles to go before I’m done
And only time and God know how long I’ll run.
My wife she told me just the other day
You can’t find diamonds in a field of clay.
You need a seam of coal from the fires of hell
Deep in the ground just to break it on down.
There’s miles to go before I’m done
And only time and God know how long I’ll run.
Chorus:
Now the night falls hard through the trees
And the night can bring a man to his knees
Where he prays to see the rising sun
And finish what’s begun.
I’ve been scared and I’ve been cold
I don’t like to think about growing old.
So I’ll spin that wheel and take the deal
And I’ll play the cards and roll the dice for real.
But there’s miles to go before I’m done
And only time and God know how long I’ll run.
Chorus:
Now the night falls hard through the trees
And the night can bring a man down to his knees
Where he prays to see the rising sun
And finish what’s begun.
One day I met a man.
He told me, count your blessings like grains of sand.
He said greet a stranger with an open hand.
Don’t turn your back if you can make a stand.
He said, there’s mile to go before we’re done
And only time and God know how long we’ll run.
That’s right, brother.
