I can almost promise this isn't exact, but its the way I play it. A mother cries, in a worn out two room house Her only son is leavin, but she's glad He's gettin out He sits her down, says you deserve a better life I'm gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die I'll be back and everyone will know my name Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same Rest assured every word I say is true I'm goin to a better place But I promise you, I'll be back He had a voice like no one had ever heard People came from miles around, hung on to every word But there were those, He could not make believe They called Him names and laughed at Him And He said wait and see I'll be back and everyone will know my name Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same Rest assured every word I say is true I'm goin to a better place But I promise you, I'll be back They say He walked up that hill at Calvary And not even the weight of the world Could bring Him to His knees His Father's son, He was born to pay the cost And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross He said I'll be back and everyone will know my name Next time you lay eyes on me will you feel ashamed Rest assured every word I say is true I'll take you to a better place But I promise you, I'll be back
