A test in Rhyming


as the horses hooves thunder home
and I am jarred to the bone
i drift of to a place where

the grass was green
and the lakes were clean
and everything was a peaceful scene

I awoke when the horse came screeching to a halt
I cursed him thought it was my own fault
I tried to remember that beautiful dream...
[chorus music]
But I couldn't

As I clucked to my horse,
I sighed with remorse
I couldn't remember that dream
then I drifted off to a place where

the grass was green
and the lakes were clean
and everything was a peaceful scene
then a fire came along and filled the land with smoke
when the smoke had cleared
my eyes they teared,
for this is what they saw
(a place where)
the grass had died
and the lakes had dried
and everything was fried

all of a sudden I understood,
I would do what the Lord told me I should

The next day I got up out of bed
(and) stumbled to the door like a sleepy head
snatched my hat and out I went
To find me a job in a preacher's tent.
