CHe was an old hand at living and G7making his Cway
He sAmmelled like old G7whiskey and he Fneeded a G7shave
His Amhome was an G7alley off F8th Avenue
If Cyou had a minute or an G7hour or Ftwo
He'd Ctell you the Gospel G7according to CLuke
Luke carried his Bible in a G7crown royal Cbag
He Amwiped off his G7brow with an Fold dirty G7rag
He'd Amtell you G7straight out Fjust the way he believed
Faith Cin the good Lord was G7all that ya Fneed
I rememCber the morning he G7first preached to Cme
He said Amgive to your G7brother if Fhe is in Cneed
AmOffer up G7thanks for the Fgifts you reG7ceive
There's Amtreasure in G7heaven for the Fgenerous few
CThat was the gospel G7according to CLuke
So I bought him breakfast at G7the Daylight CCafe
BisAmcuits and G7gravy hot Fcoffee and G7eggs
He was Amhungry and G7ragged hadn't Featen in days
But CI was the one there who G7felt out of Fplace
When he Cfolded his hands bowed his G7head and said Cgrace
A week ago Wednesday G7I saw him Cagain
DownAmtown at the G7mission surFrounded by G7friends
Handing Amout all the G7change he'd Fcollected that week
Saying Cyou boys might need this a G7lot more than Fme
I try Chard to practice the G7words that I Cpreach
He was an old hand at living and G7making his Cway
He Amsmelled like old G7whiskey and he Fneeded a G7shave
His Amhome was an G7alley off F8th Avenue
If Cyou had a minute or G7an hour or Ftwo
He'd Ctell you the Gospel G7according to CLuke
