lyrics

they called him the king of Collision Mountain. they used to say no man could slow him down. she was the queen of the Carolinas. the two of them kids used to fool around in a brand new cadillac with shining spokes. when you know, you know. "hallelujah, by and by, i don't need nothin in this life. you're good love pulls me through. hallelujah, glory be, i don't want for anything. you're good love pulls me through the fire". they've called him the king of the past due bill. he knows that worryin won't pay the rent. still, he's got a couple mouths to fill. sometimes, it's hard for a man, getting dollars to make cents. there's a beat up cadillac, on blocks, in the garage. you work with what you've got. even if it ain't much. "hallelujah, by and by, i don't need nothin in this life. your good love pulls me through. hallelujah, glory be, i don't want for anything. you're good love pulls me through the fire". they've called him the king of the gentle touch. as the queen of the Carolinas passes on, he knows he needed her too much. but, as her body gives up, he can't believe she's gone. so, he sits in that cadillac, full of memories, and he thinks. what will be will be. the honey and the sting. "hallelujah, by and by, i don't need nothin in this life. you're good love pulled me through. hallelujah, glory be, i don't want for anything. you're good love pulled me through the fire".
