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
