[03:51.00]Me and Virgil the best of friends
[03:51.00]Brothers till the very end
[03:51.00]Made a pact one sunny afternoon
[03:51.00]Down by Cold Pepper Creek
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Fishing holes and skipping rocks
[03:51.00]Down the railroad tracks we'd talk
[03:51.00]'Bout girls and cars and hopes and dreams
[03:51.00]The way our lives would be
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]And we swore we'd never change
[03:51.00]We would always be the same
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Virgil met the Holy Ghost
[03:51.00]A little younger than most
[03:51.00]At the Gilappi Pentecostal
[03:51.00]Tent revival alter call
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Everyone from town was there that day
[03:51.00]When Virgil gave his soul away
[03:51.00]They were praising as I waited
[03:51.00]Outside the gospel hall
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Where we swore we'd never change
[03:51.00]But it would never be the same
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]'Cause it was later on that year
[03:51.00]The winter that our mama died
[03:51.00]When I told Virgil I don't wanna hear
[03:51.00]About love and peace inside
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]'Cause if this God you know is good
[03:51.00]How could He allow the pain
[03:51.00]Life's been hard enough
[03:51.00]So why would I want to be born again
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]The other night me and Virgil spoke
[03:51.00]He travels with the holy ghost
[03:51.00]Holding tent revivals
[03:51.00]He's out to seek and save
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Virgil says he's been set free
[03:51.00]By Jesus dying on a tree
[03:51.00]And I'm not sure what I believe
[03:51.00]My questions still remain
[03:51.00]
[03:51.00]Virgil says that when he prays
[03:51.00]He asks the Lord that I'd be saved
[03:51.00]I guess some things never change
