Never went to church, much less to school
Folks around here say I'm just a fool
Well maybe I'm just too happy or blue
To give a care about you
But I'm on my way ?
And that's all I need to do
My worn out shoes are damp with autumn rain
I know my hair and my shirt are faded grey
Well maybe it's just not proper of me
But I think I'm gonna sing
So just sit back ?
All you people ? and let me be
Chorus:
La La La La La La ? I bet I'm happy as you
La La La La La La ? And as I walk I feel a tune
I'll sing it now for you
'Cause I'm making my way with
The man who saved the fool
Tears of silent joy just seem to pour
I know my wife has never seen me cry before
Well maybe she knows how happy I am
As I kneel down on the floor
'Cause for once in my life
Through Jesus I ain't poor no more
(Repeat Refrain)
