The Shores of Jordan

[Verse 1]

Well, I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries

I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny

The rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be

So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Chorus]

I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs

'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long

And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be

So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Verse 2]

And I travelled to a prison, I saw my share of shattered dreams

Were the tables slightly tilted? I could be bound, they could be free

But I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees

Vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carried me

[Chorus]

I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs

'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long

And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be

So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Verse 3]

And I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road

And I said, "Friend, please may I help you? It seems you haul a heavy load"

But he said, "Though my burden's heavy, in my heart I'm traveling light

So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side"

[Chorus]

I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs

'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long

And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be

So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Outro]

I just dance the shores of Jordan

Until the angels carry me

I know they'll carry me
