[Verse 1: Kevin Kerby]

If you shake my hand

And call me your friend

On me you can depend

Until the bitter end

[Chorus: Kevin Kerby & Virginia Ralph]

Just like gasoline and fire

A tenor and a choir

Treads on a worn out tire

Like crows up on a wire

[Verse 2: Virginia Ralph]

There's a bible verse

Says the last one shall be first

Well, if that verse is true

There's hope for me and you

[Chorus: Kevin Kerby & Virginia Ralph]

Just like gasoline and fire

A tenor and a choir

Treads on a worn out tire

Like crows up on a wire

[Verse 3: Kevin Kerby]

Let the river flow

For a thousand years or so

That trickle meek and mild

Becomes a river wild

[Chorus: Kevin Kerby & Virginia Ralph]

Just like gasoline and fire

A tenor and a choir

Treads on a worn out tire

Like crows up on a wire
