It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten
And I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
And that preacher? s words still fill my head and I hear them now and then
He said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?
It was the hottest night of summer
And our final high school dance were just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
And I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
But the preacher? s words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in
She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?
It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin? at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win
Now I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
But that preacher? s words could not be heard
Wen she whispered, come on in
She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?
She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?
She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
