lyrics

Oh my lord it's gonna be alright
you've miles ahead in this bright life
those young girl dreams are still in your reach
and you'll always be my precious sweet Marlene

Verse 1

It's been tough baby since you've gone
it’s no place for you out there on the run
so close those eyes and put down the gun
cuz you'll always be my favorite one

Verse 2

you've walked miles in the desert sun
i can tell girl you've come undone
but you're still here you're oh so young
so grab my hand i'll kiss you all night long

Bridge

Judas walks along side of you
tempting' you with things you shouldn't do
just wash in this water and you'll be new
cuz he can't kiss you baby like I do

Verse 3

You stood in the garden at gethsemane
with a baby bouncing on your knee
you cried enough to water all those trees
so pack your things and come on home to me

Refrain

Oh my lord it's gonna be alright
you've miles ahead in this bright life
those young girl dreams are still in your reach
you'll always be my precious sweet marlene

Verse 4

it's safe here in my white bedroom
you play the bride and i'll play the groom
we'll dance together under the light of the moon
Don't you worry it'll all be over soon
