lyrics

I'm looking for a place where I can cash a check
I'm looking for a phone where I can call collect
I'm looking for a place where I can make a plan
while I'm waiting for a gift from God's left hand
waiting for a gift from a God's left hand

I'm looking for a driver who can give me a jump
I'm looking for a push to get me up to the pumps
I need a revelation I can understand
while I'm waiting for a gift from God's left hand
waiting for a gift from God's left hand

My tears are hot
and my coffee's cold
and this ribbon I'm threading isn't ever gonna turn to gold

You can't get to heaven in a motel bed if the sky is blue and the sheets are red
You can't get to heaven in a rented van if you're looking for a gift from God's left hand
looking for a gift from God's left hand

I used to march in the army, I used to carry a gun
I used to wander this earth like a prodigal sun
I used to walk at the plow, tilling the land
I was digging for a gift from God's left hand
digging for a gift from God's left hand

My tears are hot
and my coffee's cold
and this ribbon I'm threading isn't ever gonna turn to gold
and my time is short
'cause I'm growing old
and these doors I darken aren't ever gonna be my home

You might be a king with people at your feet
or sleeping in the gutter on the hard concrete
You can live to a hundred and not understand
until you get that gift from God's left hand
get that gift from God's left hand
