Lyrics

TEARDROPS OF BLOOD

 Leroy lives in a cardboard box
 Down by the mission bell
 Where saints refuse to go
 And the sinners wish him well
 Forced to carry his own cross
 While we drive nails in his coffin
 You might say it is routine
 It happens far to often

 A decorated soldier
 Veteran of the war
 Who would've thought that he would be
 Among the sick and poor?
 The preacher-man wags his head
 While the rich man turns away
 His mother looks on weeping
 Teardrops of blood are falling

 Jesus sang a Samaritan song
 Down by the mission bell
 Where saints refused to go
 And the sinners wished him well
 Forced to carry his own cross
 While we drove nails in his coffin
 You might say it was routine
 It happened far to often

 A decorated soldier
 Veteran of the war
 Who would've thought that he would be
 Among the sick and poor?
 The preacher-man wagged his head
 While the rich man turned away
 His mother looked on weeping
 Teardrops of blood were falling

 Leroy lives in a cardboard box
 Down by the mission bell
 Where saints refuse to go
 And the sinners wish him well
 Seems no one down here gives a damn
 Though the stone's been rolled away
 Our father looks on weeping
 Teardrops of blood are falling
