"When Levon Sings" lyrics - WILLIE NILE

When Levon sings
Levon sings
Gates fell open and we all got wings
Better tighten up them guitar strings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings

Once upon a time was a drummer in a band
He kept a mighty beat across a promised land
He played with a smile from ear to ear
Now up in heaven all the angels want to hear

When Levon sings
Levon sings
Gates fell open and we all got wings
Better tighten up them guitar strings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings

Born on a farm down in Arkansas
Best damn singer that you ever saw
Now he's keeping time with the man upstairs
When the lightning cracks that's Levon's snare
The lightning cracks that's Levon's snare

When Levon sings
Levon sings
Gates fell open and we all got wings
Better tighten up them guitar strings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings

Levon was but a man it's true
Working every day like me and you
But when that voice begins to roar
The chains break free on heaven's door
The chains break free on heaven's door

When Levon sings
Levon sings
Gates fell open and we all got wings
Better tighten up them guitar strings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings
When Levon sings
Levon sings
Gates fell open and we all got wings
Better tighten up them guitar strings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings
The cotton is high when Levon sings
The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings
