Waitin' Till The Rapture Come

(Album: Salvation Station - 2008)

Old man Jonah sitting in his chair got no teeth and got no hair
Got no daughter and got no son he's just waiting till the rapture come
Waiting till the rapture come

He never did marry and he never went far never bought a house or a big ole car
But he ain't no beggar and he sure ain't dumb he's just waiting till the rapture come
Waiting till the rapture come

And when the rapture come the Lord's gonna call his name
(When the rapture come) Jonah's gonna put down his cane
(When the rapture come) Heaven's gonna take him away
But until that day...

Old man Jonah's got an old brass horn had it since the day that he was reborn
But he ain't gonna blow for just anyone he's gonna wait till the rapture come
Waiting till the rapture come

Preacher come a-walking down that country mile said 'hey Jonah, know it's been a while'
But Jonah keep his eyes on the setting sun he's just waiting till the rapture come
Waiting till the rapture come
Waiting till the rapture come
