Look
Inside The Lemonade Song ~ with Mitch McVicker
Jim came
walkin' down the road
Singin'
songs and hummin' on hymn tunes
Though
he'd never set foot in a church on Sunday morning
The smile
on his face looked kinda outta place
Considerin'
the looks of his shirt and shoes
Made me
wonder what kept him going
Spent most
of his lonely young days
Working'
downtown in the sawmill
And a childhood
is somethin' he's never known
All the
extra time he had on his mind
Every now
and then his heart would spill
And he'd
start singin' all the way home
Chorus
And he'd
sing I, I don't know much
But I know
a Love
And one
day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
Sippin'
lemonade, love lives there
Round 'bout
that time the bells chimed
And the
church doors flew open
And a whole
herd of saints came runnin' along Jim's way
Talkin'
'bout salvation, hope and love
And everything
else they didn't know about
And when
they saw Jim all of that changed
Now it takes
a special kind of man
To avoid
a confrontation
And everywhere
Jimmy looked he had nowhere to go
They started
throwin' out names,
Throwin'
punches, and throwin' laughter
And when
they were through, blood was drippin' from his nose
Chorus
And he
sang I, I've heard about blood
I think
it stands for Love
And one
day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
Sippin'
lemonade, loves lives there
Now Jim
knew what he had inside of him
And wouldn't
hear nothin' different
The moral
to the story is he just keeps on keepin' on
Now he
ain't whitewashed,
You won't
find him on the corner prayin'
He just
knows his Love and knows his song
Chorus
And he
sings I, I got all I want
'Cause
I've got my love
And one
day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
Sippin'
lemonade, love lives there
Yeah, one
day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
Sippin'
lemonade, love lives there
Yeah, one
day I'll be sittin' up in heaven on an easy chair
Sippin'
lemonade, love lives there
