Gold Lyrics

Please see each song's parent album for lyrics

 

Praise The Lord And Pass The Soup
(originally released on a 7" single in 1973 by Johnny Cash & The Carter Family featuring the Oak Ridge Boys,
this is the exact same version)


Sister you can bang on your tambourine
Just let my body be fed
At the end of our street
Is a mission so sweet
Where me and all my friends
Get a little something to eat

Though you can't pick and choose
You sure like their stew
And if you don't get fried chicken
What you get you can use

Praise the Lord and pass the soup
Praise the Lord and pass the bread

For the sake of a prayer
There's a warm welcome there
And if you ain't had a bath
Ain't no body who cares
Cause they've seen it all before
From the bums to the whores
And if you shout "Hallelujah"
They'll sometimes give you some more

And singin' hallelujah

 

 
When You Get To The Heart
(originally released on Barbara Mandrell's 1985 album Get To The Heart,
this is the exact same version)


Come sit beside me, you know how you excite me
Let's lock the world outside our door
Sometimes it gets so crazy
We know that it's not easy to find the time to love anymore
All the things that we go after that really just don't matter
That's not the way that we started out
All we had was each other and babe that's what it's all about

When you break it all down and you strip it apart
There's just one thing that matters at all
When you get to the heart
When the smoke clears away and we see where we are
We'll see all that really matters is love
When you get to the heart

So baby let's get down to it, all we gotta do is do it
You know we can work it out
Cause we got each other and babe that's what it's all about
