Shoeshine Johnny's just doin' time Settin' up shop at the five and dime Seen a whole lot of miles, got a few more to go Everyone says he's a humble man Tell ya bout life like no one can With a wink and a smile he'd let ya know All kinda people come from miles around Just to hear Johnny tell his stories Talk about the days gone by Talkin' bout future glory Round round round lie goes Tell you how the good Lord knows He'd be shinin' most every day Sit right down listen what he says Some like to play with fire But there's a love that's higher And you know the Lord's been good to me for sure Hard times can come and go But one thing for sure I know When I die The richest man I'll be Lookin' back I remember the times Laughin-and-a-jokin-and-a-feelin fine Ol' Johnny pick you up when you're feelin' low His words hang on in my memory The dusty ol' book that he read to me Even now I'm grown they speak to me What gains a man to win the world But lose his very soul Riches of the Promised Land Much better than silver and gold Oh how wise is he that makes the Lord his company Fearless of the days to come Knowin' that the battles won Listen son lie said to me Jesus died to set us free You're old enough it's time to chose With the Lord you'll never lose Beat them everlasting blues
