Will I see him on the TV
  Preachin' 'bout the promised land
  He tells me to believe in Jesus
  And steals the money from my hand
  
  Some say he was a good man
  But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
  
  Twenty-two years of mental tears
  Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
  Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
  To find his country didn't want him back
  
  Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
  Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
  In a time I don't remember
  In a war he can't forget
  
  He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
  Cause I never meant the things I did"
  
  Chorus:
  And give me something to believe in
  If there's a Lord above
  And give me something to believe in
  Oh, Lord arise
  
  My best friend died a lonely man
  In some Palm Springs hotel room
  I got the call last Christmas Eve
  And they told me the news
  
  I tried all night not to break down and cry
  As the tears rolled down my face
  I felt so cold and empty
  Like a lost soul out of place
  
  And the mirror, mirror on the wall
  Sees my smile it fades again
  
  Chorus
  
  Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
  The things I didn't know then
  Road you gotta take me home
  
  Solo
  
  I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
  Like bodies in an open grave
  Underneath the broken old neon sign
  That used to read JESUS SAVES
  
  A mile away live the rich folks
  And I see how they're living it up
  While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
  The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
  
  And it just makes me wonder
  Why so many lose, so few win
  
  Chorus
  
  You take the high road
  And I'll take the low road
  
  Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
  The things I didn't know then
  
  And give me something to believe in
