Bob Wayne, performing his song "Get There When I Get There" off of his latest album "Till the Wheels Fall Off". . . .
When I was a young boy, in tongues they all would speak. . .
I was forced the holy water and the pastor washed my feet. . .
I was baptized by a gambler who's now livin' on the streets. . .
And he told me hell was waitin', Hell, you can wait for me. . .
Cause i say "Oh, I'll get there when I get there. . .
And Oh, I'll get there when I come"
And all the righteous , well they just sit there. . .
While the sinners answered call. . .
It's been a long long time since I've been back home
I've been around the world and I know where I belong. . .
Well the demons they cant trick me, i don't believe those gospel songs
And even though I know the words, I still won't sing along. . .
But i say "Oh, I'll get there when I get there. . .
And Oh, I'll get there when I come"
And all the righteous , well they just sit there. . .
While the sinners answered call. . .
