Keepsake

One gonna heal my body, another gonna heal my pain One gonna settle me down, then bring me back up again I'm gonna put my family back together again One gonna hold my woman, another gonna hold my job One gonna help me get up, another gonna help me stop One gonna help me talk right, one gonna lay me down to sleep One gonna hold my thoughts and another gonna hold my bones One gonna keep me warm and another gonna keep me cold One gonna bring religion right from a Coleman stove One gonna help me keep and another gonna help me take One gonna run me down, a hail of bullets in my wake You're gonna keep my soul, it was yours to have long ago One gonna buckle my belt around the ceiling pipe One gonna buckle my knees and one gonna lock them up tight One gonna hold a pen while you drag my arm across the page One gonna hold my memory, another gonna close the door One gonna leave me restless, another wanting more You're gonna keep my soul, it was yours to have long ago
