[Verse 1]
The preacher talked to me and he smiled
Said, « Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile »
And now for once in your life you’re alone
But you ain’t got a dime, there’s no time for the phone
[Chorus]
I’ve just got to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on
[Verse 2]
I told him, « I’m in no hurry »
But if I broke her heart, then won’t you tell her I’m sorry
And for once in my life, I’m alone
And I’ve got to let her know, just in time before I go
[Chorus]
I’ve just go to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on
[Bridge]
Well I laughed, but that didn’t hurt
And it’s only her love, that keeps me wearing this dirt
And now I’m crying, but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it’s my turn to die
[Chorus]
I’ve just got to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on
I just gotta get a message to you
I just gotta, get a message, get a message to you
Hold on
Hold
Hold on
Hold on
[Outro]
One more hour and my life will be through, oh
One more hour, one more hour, my life’ll be through
Hold on
Oh, hold on
Hold on
