ROGER

words and music by William O. Richardson


Roger always watched his health
He didn't smoke or drink
Out of all my kin and cousins
He was the best I think
Like Wally on the Beaver show
He was my big brother
'Cause after she had me
My mama never had another

One day early in the morning
He was jogging by a field
Roger ran five miles most every day
The driver never saw him
He was dreaming at the wheel
Guess it's just like Roger used to say

Chorus:

You'd better be ready
You never know the day
Or the hour that the savior will look at you and say
Welcome to forever
Let's walk through Heaven's gate
You better be ready before it's too late

I'm not gonna try and tell you
Just what happens when you die
'Cause I don't think it's meant for us to see
Our brains are like computers
And we just ain't got the space
To store forever in our memory
But

Repeat Chorus twice and out
