A Crooked Road

You can plant more corn in a crooked row.

You will walk more miles but not as far on a crooked road.

A crooked tree gives more shade.

The sight of a crooked soul makes me afraid.

A crooked life will lead you nowhere.

When you get to where you think you are going,

You will find you have already been there.

That would be a waste of time you don't have to spare.

So clean up your act and start going straight.

Do everything right, don't leave it to fate.

Maybe you will not be turned away,

When the day comes you approach heaven's gate.

It takes work , but a crooked soul can go straight.

You must really want it and the effort must be great.

The lord is there to help you, if it's really what you want.

He will not fail you, He will comfort your heart and soul.

Having a crooked soul leaves you feeling twisted.

It makes you feel like you may lose what you have invested.

So you keep walking down that long crooked road.

At the end of your journey you will be left in the cold.

So clean up your act and start going straight.

Do everything right, don't leave it to fate.

Maybe you will not be turned away,

When the day comes you approach heaven's gate.

Don't walk that crooked road.

There is no future walking a crooked road.

Stay away from that crooked road.
