Emmylou Harris - Raise The Dead lyrics

Hank Williams died when I was five He sang I'll never get out of this world alive Now it's been a long time since I was that kid And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did I've done the down and out in every dark end dive But I'll never get out of your love alive Sam Cook met the woman at the well She told him that his song was something he could never sell And I think he knew a change was gonna come Still he lived too fast and he died too young Well dyin' young I have survived but I'll never get out of your love alive I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul He believed in a God that could raise the dead Still it's a mighty dark night to travel he said I've seen a mighty dark night and I made that drive But I'll never get out of your love alive
