《Half A Mile A Day》歌词

[00:00:00] Half a Mile a Day - Johnny Cash

[00:00:01] One night after a concert

[00:00:03] I walked through the streets of the town

[00:00:05] And came upon a little church

[00:00:06] The service was over but the testimonials had just begun

[00:00:10] People caught up in the spirit of the night

[00:00:12] Just didn’t want to leave

[00:00:14] So I stepped inside the door

[00:00:15] And sat down by a little old lady in the back

[00:00:17] A man stood up in front and said

[00:00:19] “I just want all of you to know that

[00:00:21] I’m going straight to heaven as fast as I can go

[00:00:23] Like an arrow shot from a bow” and he sat down

[00:00:26] Another man stood up and said

[00:00:28] “I’m sailin' right straight into heaven

[00:00:30] Like a giant clipper ship sailin' on a sea of blue

[00:00:34] And nothin's gonna deter me or keep me from that safe harbor”

[00:00:38] He sat down and another man stood up and said

[00:00:40] “I’m flyin' into the portals of heaven on silver wings

[00:00:44] Sailin' over all the troubles and trials down below

[00:00:46] By that

[00:00:49] The little lady beside me wait to made it to her feet

[00:00:55] And all got quiet as she raised her face

[00:00:58] Not to the preacher or the congregation

[00:01:00] But toward heaven and prayerfully said

[00:01:03] I’m comin' Lord for my heavenly reward

[00:01:10] I’m on my way to You can You see me comin' through

[00:01:17] Through clouds of persecution and stumblin' on the way

[00:01:24] But I expect I’m makin' 'bout a half a mile a day

[00:01:33] The road to Heaven doesn’t have a rapid transit plan

[00:01:41] It's one way with no changes goin' to the promised land

[00:01:50] But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say

[00:01:57] Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day

[00:02:06] Lord when I let You lead I don’t make any speed

[00:02:13] 'Cos I have to stop and touch the ones who need so much

[00:02:20] And then sometimes others pull me off of Your narrow way

[00:02:27] And by my mistakes I barely make a half a mile a day

[00:02:37] But the road to Heaven doesn’t have a rapid transit plan

[00:02:44] It's one way with no changes goin' to the promised land

[00:02:53] But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say

[00:03:00] Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day
