Got my faith baby
In the Lord
Got my faith baby
In the Lord Lord Lord
And I know
He'll make everything alright
No matter where a child roam
That child's gonna have a home
If he's got his faith alright
I don't believe in no car
I don't believe in General Motors
I don't believe in the President
Or the League of Women Voters
I don't believe in these things
All these things might fail
I don't believe it's gonna snow
It might sleet rain or hail
But I believe in the Father
I believe in the Son
I believe there's a Spirit
For everyone
I believe in the Father
I believe in the Son
I believe there's a Spirit
For everyone
That's not all
That's not all
I'm gonna tell y'all
Let's do the faith call
I said F----F
I said A----A
I said I----I
I said T----T
I said H----H
What's that spell---Faith
What's that spell---Faith
Oh Faith

engineer blows the whistle loud and long
can't stop the train gotta let it roll on
"Bye Bye Johnny"

when she'd have to give Johnny a good bye kiss
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
bye bye Johnny, goodbye Johnny B Goode
Well now she finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
when Johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love
as soon as he was married he'd bring her back
and build a mansion for her b
