Virgil and the Holy Ghost



Paul says: Another thing that I love abut country music is is... um,

songs that tell a story ya know and really takes you somewhere

you’ve never been or wish you could of been. or somewhere that

you really find at home. This ah...... this is a song about choices,

this is about a young boy named Virgil and ah, this is called,

Virgil and the holy ghost.



Me and Virgil the best of friends

Brothers till the very end

Made a pact one sunny afternoon

Down by cold pepper creek



Fishing Holes and skipping stones

Down the railroad tracks we talked bout

Girls and cars and hopes and dreams

The way our lives would be

And we swore we’d never change

We’d always be the same



Virgil met the holy ghost

a little younger than most

Virgil laughed and then it cost him

Then privival on to call everyone



The town was there that day

Virgil gave his soul away

They were praising as I waited outside the gospel hall

Were we swore we’d never change

but it would never be then same



Because it was later on that year

the winter that our mama died

and I told Virgil I don’t wanna hear about love and peace inside



Because if this god u know is good

How could he allow the pain

Life's been hard enough so why would I want to be born again??



The other night...

Me and Virgil spoke

He travels with the holy ghost

Hoped and privival he’s out to seek and save

Virgil Says he’s been set free by Jesus dieing on a tree

And I'm not sure what I believe

My questions still remain

Virgil said when he brings he asks the lord that I be saved

I guess some things never change
