Linda Ronstadt - Raise The Dead Lyrics
written by Emmylou Harris© Almo Music Corp/ Poodlebone Music (ASCAP)Hank Williams died when I was fiveHe sang I'll never get out of this world aliveNow it's been a long time since I was that kidAnd I've seen a lot more than Hank ever didI've done the down and out in every dark end diveBut I'll never get out of your love aliveSam Cooke met the woman at the wellShe told him that his song was somethinghe could never sellAnd I think he knew a change was gonna comeStill he lived too fast and he died too youngWell, dying young I have survivedBut I'll never get out of your love aliveI got washed in the blood of Bill MonroeWhen he sang about the blues in the body and soulHe believed in a God that could raise the deadStill, it's a mighty dark night to travel he saidI've seen a mighty dark night and I made that driveBut I'll never get out of your love aliveRobert Johnson had a hellhound on his trailDrove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nailIt takes a powerful man to carry that loadWhen you're trying to beat the devilto the old crossroadI wrestled the devil, lived to testifyBut I'll never get out of your love aliveI'll never get out of your love aliveOh I'll never get out of your love aliveI'll never get out of your love alive
