Are you one foot in the grave, or one step closer to your savior Brother tell me how it feels, it's much too soon to meet your maker You ain't ever walked a line, boy, you always were a rebel Now ain't no time to strike a deal now, now for someone to cheat the devil Won't get a nickle for your name, no, 'course you won't need it where you're going But brother tell me can you feel, now, the winds of change that started blowing It ain't a hot and dusty road, no, it ain't a highway it's a journey Sure you're walking for the train still, but it's a train that's bound for glory Every man is born to die, there ain't no mystery but livin' Brother tell me is it hard to say goodbye, to be forgiven You won't ever get it back, don't you hear the angels calling 'Cause you listen to them now, now that the tears have started fallin' When he reaches out his hand for you, and you kneel before you savior Say, your brothers know you're gone now, gone to heaven a believer Say, your brothers know you're gone, gone to heaven a believer
