lyrics

Steppin outside, feelin might low
Look up at the sky, somebody's tryin to let me know
God is watching over me, watching over me

I's gonna leave this town, no place to go
The end of the line with nothin' to show
But God was watching over me, watching over me

I saw a smile on a young boy's face
He stood up and let an old lady have his place
Rumblin' down this broken road, slowly
Gettin' where we had to go

To the preachers in the pulpit, the hustlers on the street
You gotta keep on fightin' when they think they got you beat
God is watching over you, watching over you

We're all caught in a never-ending war
The more we lose we may get ground down for more
A power-hungry greedy fool's got nothin' else to do
And all their followers of faith
Flexin' muscles to make themselves feel great
The more we fight our bloody war, the bigger pawns we become

Jeanie had a hard life
You could see it in her eyes
She said, "When I had nothin', one thing kept me alive"
God was watchin' over me, watchin' over me
Yeah God is watching over me, watchin' over me

JL Stiles San Francisco, California

I would love to fingerpick and sing just like Blind Blake but as everyone knows, this is like becoming the Buddha.
