Oh, help me in my weakness
I heard the drifters say
As they carried him from the courtroom
And were taking him away
My trip has been a heavy one
And my time, it isn't long
And I still do not know
What I'm going to do

And what it was that I've done wrong
Well, the judge, he cast his rope aside
A tear came to his eye
You failed to understand, he said
Why must you even try?
Outside the crowd was stirring
You could hear it from the door
Inside the judge was stepping down
While the jury cried for more
Oh, stop that cursing jury
Cried the attendant and the nurse
The trial was bad enough
But this is teen times work
You'll be just fine
We know the truth
Telling lies
And faith called to you
Know that you're not alone
The truth does not lie

It's not just a dream
bolt of lightning
struck the courthouse
out of sheep
And while everybody
knelt to pray
the drift
you did escape
