Reason To Believe - Live at Meadowlands Arena, E. Rutherford, NJ - August 1984
Seen a man standin' over a dead dog lyin' by the highway in a ditch
He's 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
Struck me kinda funny seem kinda funny sir to me
I'm at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe
Oh Mary Lou loved Johnny with a love mean and true
She said "Baby I'll work for you every day
And bring my money home to you"
One day he up and left her and ever since that
She waits down at the end of that dirt road for young Johnny to come back
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
Wash the baby in the water 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, now 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 his Bible groom stands waitin' for his bride
Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree
Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on so
So effortlessly
Wonderin' where can his baby be still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
He's 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
Struck me kinda funny seem kinda funny sir to me
I'm at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe
Oh Mary Lou loved Johnny with a love mean and true
She said "Baby I'll work for you every day
And bring my money home to you"
One day he up and left her and ever since that
She waits down at the end of that dirt road for young Johnny to come back
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
Wash the baby in the water 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, now 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 his Bible groom stands waitin' for his bride
Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree
Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on so
So effortlessly
Wonderin' where can his baby be still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
