Love Wins
Sally Mae, with lipstick on her face
Hoping that it might erase
All the shadows in that place
Shaky footsteps on an unlit path
Wondering if the road would lead her back
Billy Jones sits at home all alone
Listening for the telephone
Like a dog waiting for a bone
Counting beads on a rosary
Like a man drifting out to sea
Hey hey hey hey
I know it's been a rough start
But, baby, never lose heart
I can't tell you what's around the bend
That life won't bring you to your knees again
But I can tell you how the story ends
Hey hey hey love wins
Hey hey, love wins
Hey hey, love wins
Oh child, in the end
Sally Mae works down at the marketplace
Billy Jones stops in to buy some paper plates
Cash or credit she said to him
He saw her eyes and fell right in
Hey hey hey hey
I know it's been a rough start
But, baby, never lose heart
I can't tell you what's around the bend
That life won't bring you to your knees again
But I can tell you how the story ends
Hey hey hey love wins
Hey hey, love wins
Hey hey, love wins
Oh child
Sister hold your head up
And brother take my hand
We're going walking through the promised land
Hey-dee hey-dee hey
And Hi-dee hi-dee hi
We're gonna get a piece of the sky
Love wins
Hey hey, love wins
Hey hey, love wins
You know that love
You know that love wins
Oh, in the end
