INTRO
Doctor said he ain't got long
he just smiled said bring it on
if you think I'm scared
you got it all wrong
a little cancer can't break me
my heart's right and I believe
we all hit our knees
started prayin'
naw he never gave up
said the Good Lord's waitin'
(Chorus)
So be well my friend
til' I see you again
this is our last goodbye
It's a Hell of an Amen
