48 States

Been to 48 states and a few different worlds
 Beheld the blind tour guide and a pig wearing pearls
 I've seen grace under foot people fall in the street
 Or use it to wipe their feet
 Never the righteous man forsaken
 Never the righteous man
 Been to 48 states I remember a few
 Having higher skylines and a wide angle view
 I've seen green lands and the natives stay in one place
 Peace falling on their face
 Where could I be
 And stay happy
 I hear Hawaii is greener
 I hear Alaska is cleaner
 Whether here or there the righteous have joy to spare
 Been to 48 states and few different worlds
 I've seen dithered men leave boys, women and girls
 Found the church roll full and they're current with dues
 To pay for the empty pews
 Never the righteous man forsaken
 Never the righteous man.
