Loudon Wainwright – I Am The Way lyrics

I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
singing... I am the way

I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
it's easy.... I'm the way

(spoken: this song has a romantic part to it)

Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
right on the mouth
I said Mary it's okay I'm the way

(spoken: this is the pitiful part)

Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
specially when he goes around saying he's the way

I am the way
I am the way
I'm the way
