[Verse 1]
The preacher talked to me and he smiled
He said "Come and walk with me, walk one more mile"
And for once in your life, you're alone
And you ain't go no dime, no time for the phone

[Chorus]
I've just gotta 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
And if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry?
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 gotta 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 no that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
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 gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
