[Verse 1]
Ah, my mama often told me
"Angels bonded your life away,"
She said I would accomplish
But "Trust in God and pray."
[Chorus]
Now, I'm on the King's Highway
Travelin' everyday
But, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
No, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my heart full of sorrow
And my eyes filled with tears
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
(Well-owh, oh, ah-hm)
[Verse 2]
Now, my mother, she's in glory
Thank God, I'm on my way
Now Father, he's gone, too
And sister, she could not stay
Now, I'm following Him everyday
To bury my burdens away
[Chorus]
But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my heart is full of sorrow
And my eyes are filled of tears
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
(Oh-hah, well-hm, mh)
[Instrumental Break]
(Awh, mh-mh, yeah)
I thought when you first left
I'd grieve for a little while
And soon it all would be over
I'd journey on with a smile
But on, as I get older
I think of what I told her, ooh
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm on the King's Highway
Trekkin' a mile a day, hey, yeah-yeah
But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
No, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my heart full of sorrow
And my eyes filled with tears
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
[Outro]
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Some-
