| Sometimes it’s hard to carry this great weight
|
| Either bound to burn or to the pearly gates
|
| And I’m as aimless as can be
|
| Often nameless though I’m free
|
| Oh Lord, will You have a plan for me?
|
| I’ve been kicked out of Texas
|
| Stole an infamous necklace
|
| Became a spiritual master
|
| Got rejected by Vassar
|
| A cool head in the game
|
| Of whatever I’m playing
|
| I’m the favorite of babies
|
| Society mavens
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| I have marveled at splendors
|
| Upended the vendors
|
| Been kidnapped and ransomed
|
| Just a little too handsome
|
| And more than a few times
|
| I’ve lived without sunshine
|
| And yes I’ve wondered
|
| Should a life be a lifetime
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| I’m dedicated to freedom
|
| The American Legion
|
| I got invited to Paris
|
| By a real Parisian
|
| I’ve been the best and the worstest
|
| Composed my own curses
|
| Got my heart broke so bad
|
| They had to call in the nurses
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| I have had good intentions
|
| Blue-blooded pretensions
|
| I’ve been the subject of rumors
|
| At the party conventions
|
| My feature’s harmonic
|
| Wisdom Solomonic
|
| If there’s a board of directors
|
| You can bet that I’m on it
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| I take my place with the ages
|
| Belong to the sages
|
| Give my clothes to the poor and
|
| My love to the ladies
|
| May all them wish me
|
| Commandant of history
|
| Write books all about how
|
| Every one of them miss me
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| And so for now I go aimless
|
| Convicted though blameless
|
| At times using nicknames
|
| At times going nameless
|
| Royalty unquestioned
|
| A gentleman of discretion
|
| Y’all sing Hallelujah
|
| For here ends the lesson
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me?
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Whoa Lord (Oh Lord)
|
| Will You ever ever have a plan for me? |
