Blackberry Smoke — The Whippoorwill lyrics

Lyrics

Going through life, the righteous way
The only way so the preacher would say
You put me on the Jericho road
Barefoot and smiling, standing there by the piano
Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well I hung my head in shame, Oh yeah
You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt
Your bougainvillea’s bloomed it’ll never wilt.
Lessons I remember and some that I forgot
are precious and pure like one honeysuckle drop.
Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well I hung my head in shame, Oh yeah
I’m gonna sing that song with the Whippoorwill
In a sweet high harmony
Though I know just what went with her
She’s always here with me Always here with me Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Well I dream that I heard that whippoorwill sing
Yeah she sang my song and called me by name
Starting all over again
Yes I’m starting all over again
