Seen a man standin' over a dead dog
By the highway in a ditch
Lookin' down kinda puzzled
Pokin' that dog with a stick
Got his car door flung open
He's standin' out on Highway 31
Like if he stood there long enough
That dog'd get up and run
Man it struck me kinda funny
Seem kinda funny sir to me
Now at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
Now Mary Lou loved Johnny
With a love mean and true
She said, "Baby I'll work for you everyday
And bring my money home to you"
One day he up and left her
And ever since that
She waits down the end of that dirt road
For young Johnny to come back
Man, it struck me kinda funny
Seemed kind of funny sir to me
How at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
Take a baby to the river
Kyle William they called him
There wash the baby in the water
And take away little Kyle's sin
In a whitewash shotgun shack
An old man passes away
They take his body to the graveyard
And over him they pray
"Lord, won't You tell us
Tell us what does it mean
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe"
Congregation gathers
Down by the riverside
Preacher stands with a Bible
Groom stands waitin' for his bride
Congregation gone
The sunset's behind a weepin' willow tree
Groom stands alone
And watches the river rush on so effortlessly
Lord, and he's wonderin'
Where can his baby be
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
