[00:00.000]Porter Wagoner's Grave - Marty Stuart
[00:02.585]A world wearied man with tear filled eyes
[00:09.547]Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise
[00:17.132]Into the church meeting with this story he came
[00:24.724]Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same
[00:35.718]The preacher said sir you're welcome in here
[00:44.018]Now tell us as much as you'd want us to hear
[00:54.990]And the stranger said
[00:55.724]It was no more than an hour ago people
[00:58.974]I was looking for shelter for the night
[01:03.194]I wanted to go somewhere out of the way
[01:06.004]Somewhere peaceful and quiet
[01:09.174]So I went to a cemetery close by Thompson lane
[01:13.755]And with full respect I entered it and found rest from the rain
[01:19.451]I laid down under a sycamore and I was barely asleep
[01:24.726]When someone said 'hello stranger'
[01:26.948]And touched the boots on my feet
[01:30.757]His hair was pure silver almost like a crown of glory on top
[01:37.680]And the rain didn't touch him not one single drop
[01:42.748]His voice was familiar it brought me comfort and peace
[01:47.591]He laughed and said
[01:48.892]'Well we picked a strange place to meet
[01:51.331]But I understand I've often come here to pray
[01:55.753]When the burdens of life put stones in my way
[01:59.463]And you see friend you and me we're brothers
[02:03.783]Though we've never met
[02:06.105]We've both known heartache disappointment
[02:09.476]And the pain of regret
[02:11.280]The full weight of sadness love and its cost
[02:15.535]And without love a soul is nothing but empty and lost
[02:22.144]And I've come to tell you to go on now and be brave
[02:26.745]You can live again
[02:29.032]You know it's her love that you crave
[02:31.994]Go find the one you left behind hold her
[02:35.504]Take her by the hand
[02:37.005]Show her how much you need her
[02:39.262]I believe she'll understand
[02:42.198]Now son you take a look at this ground
[02:44.642]It's filled with things unsaid
[02:47.368]There's a world of good intentions here
[02:49.461]In the land of the dead
[02:51.872]And friend I'm here to tell you on this very night
[02:55.609]I was sent by your maker the giver of life
[02:59.525]To tell you there's rest for your soul
[03:02.289]There's peace and relief
[03:04.763]If you'll just surrender your burdens
[03:07.020]Lay them at god's feet
[03:09.552]Walk out of this place
[03:11.660]Go now and live
[03:13.678]In the light of a pure perfect presence
[03:16.630]That loves and forgives'
[03:20.501]He wore a long purple coat covered in wheels
[03:29.470]Red leather boots with sparkling heels
[03:37.193]On a dark stormy night a lost soul was saved
[03:45.538]Brought into the fold on porter wagoner's grave
