Love Without End, Amen

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn’t matter why

Its a love without end, amen
Its a love without end, amen

There was no doubt that stubourn boy was just like my father’s son
And when I thought my patience had been until the end

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
