With My Maker I Am One
I am the preacher - shoutin' out the news
I am the juke joint stomper - playin' the blues
I am the Holy Roller - givin' Jesus my cares
I am the candy man - pushin' my wares
I am the cowboy - brandin' my steers
I am the Cherokee brave - on the trail of tears
I am the master - whip in my hand
I am the slave - from a distant land
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
I am a doctor - savin' the sick
I am a junkie - cravin' a fix
I am a homeless child - on streets so mean
I am a movie star - on the silver screen
I am a champion - at thе finish line
I am a beggar - holdin' up a sign
I am a rookie - tryin' to makе the hall of fame
I am a gangster - fixin' a game
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
I am the Okie - on a dusty road
I am the banker - with the tailor-made clothes
I am the hobo - in a cold boxcar
I am the railroad baron - with the long cigar
I am the ghetto brother - 'bout to lose his lease
I am the landlord - cuttin' of the heat
I am the prisoner - playin' cards
I am the warden - lookin' out on the yard
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
After all is said an' done - with my maker I am one
