Lyrics
WHEN I WAS A KID MY MOMMA WOULD PUT ME TO BED
WITH THE WORDS OF THE LORD'S PRAYER FLOWING THROUGH MY HEAD
SHE WOULD TENDERLY KISS ME IN A MOTHERLY WAY
PRAYING SOFTLY, THEN WALKED AWAY
SHE SAID SHE'S SEE ME IN THE MORNING LIGHT
SOME HOW I KNEW EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT
I CAN STILL HEAR THE SOFT SOFT SOUTHERN WIND IN THE LIVE ELM TREES
AND THOSE WILLIAMS BOYS THEY STILL MEAN A LOT TO ME
THEY'RE FROM VIRDEN YOU SEE
AT TIMES I WOULD WONDER HOW WE WOULD TURN OUT TO BE
WHAT LIFE WOULD BECOME FOR, GOOD OLE BOYS LIKE ME
NOTHIN MAKES A SOUND IN THE NIGHT LIKE WHEN THE WINTER WIND SCREAMS AND MOANS
BUT YOU AIN'T AFRAID IF YOU'RE WASHED IN THE BLOOD LIKE ME
THE SMELL OF SNOW; FRESH AND CLEAN
THOUGHTS OF TOMORROW IN MY DREAMS
WITH THE LIGHT OF THE STREET LAMP ON MY BED
AND JESUS WHISPERING IN MY HEAD
I CAN STILL HEAR THE HARSH NORTH WIND IN THE LIVE ELM TREES
THOSE WILLIAMS BOYS; THEY STILL MEAN A LOT TO ME
WE'RE FROM VIRDEN YOU SEE
AT TIMES I WOULD WONDER HOW I WOULD TURN OUT TO BE
WHAT LIFE WOOULD BECOME FOR, GOOD OLE BOYS LIKE ME
AS I GREW OLDER I RAN WITH THE PACK DOWN THE ROAD
BUT THEN IMET JESUS FOR REAL AND HE CARRIED MY LOAD
I USED TO BE LOST, BUT NOW I AM FOUND
HE BECAME, MY SOLID GROUND
NOW I HAD PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE
NO LONGER WOULD I WALLOW IN SIN AND STRIFE
NOW I CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF A HEAVENLY BREEZE; YES I CAN
AND THOSE WILLIAMS BOYS; THEY STILL MEAN A LOT TO ME
THEY'RE FROM VIRDEN YOU SEE
NOW I'M EXCITED TO KNOW WHAT WE CAN BE
I KNOW GOD'S GOT A PLAN FOR ME; GOOD OLE BOYS LIKE ME
YES SIR GOD'S GOT A PLAN FOR GOOD, FOR GUYS LIKE YOU AND ME
