Oh Lord, Pt. 3 - Josh Ritter

Sometimes it’s hard to carry this great weight

Either bound to burn or to the pearly gates

And I’m as aimless as can be

Often nameless though I’m free

Oh Lord, will You have a plan for me?

I’ve been kicked out of Texas

Stole an infamous necklace

Became a spiritual master

Got rejected by Vassar

A cool head in the game

Of whatever I’m playing

I’m the favorite of babies

Society mavens

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

I have marveled at splendors

Upended the vendors

Been kidnapped and ransomed

Just a little too handsome

And more than a few times

I’ve lived without sunshine

And yes I’ve wondered

Should a life be a lifetime

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

I’m dedicated to freedom

The American Legion

I got invited to Paris

By a real Parisian

I’ve been the best and the worstest

Composed my own curses

Got my heart broke so bad

They had to call in the nurses

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

I have had good intentions

Blue-blooded pretensions

I’ve been the subject of rumors

At the party conventions

My feature’s harmonic

Wisdom Solomonic

If there’s a board of directors

You can bet that I’m on it

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

I take my place with the ages

Belong to the sages

Give my clothes to the poor and

My love to the ladies

May all them wish me

Commandant of history

Write books all about how

Every one of them miss me

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

And so for now I go aimless

Convicted though blameless

At times using nicknames

At times going nameless

Royalty unquestioned

A gentleman of discretion

Y’all sing Hallelujah

For here ends the lesson

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)

Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
