Ol' Jim, he lived on the edge of town
He'd walk the streets from mornin' to sundown
We all knew his name but we called him "Crazy"
He'd pick up cans just to get by
Doin' what he could to survive
Had an ol' dog that never left his side he called "Daisy"
The whole town warned me, "Stay away from him"
I used to wonder who was better - those people or Jim
'Cause if the world is round and we all breathe air
We all laugh and we all get scared
We all have our share of good and bad times
Yeah we've all got a heart, we've all got a soul
And on the day that we're born we all start to grow old
Think about it, it really comes as no surprise
We all look the same through God's eyes
Bill, he's sittin' on cell block five
Killed a man for messin' with his wife
Probably gonna spend the rest of his life in prison
When he put that ring on Delilah's hand
He never thought she'd find another man
He never dreamed that he'd have to make that decision
When he fired those shots did he buy himself a ticket to hell
I don't think Heaven's any further away from a church than a jail cell
'Cause if the world is round and we all breathe air
We all laugh and we all get scared
We all have our share of good and bad times
Yeah we've all got a heart, we've all got a soul
And on the day that we're born we all start to grow old
Think about it, it really comes as no surprise
We all look the same through God's eyes
A wino livin' in an old Dodge van
A preacher with a Bible in his hand
A long-haired guitar picker in a hillbilly band
As far as He's concerned
There ain't much difference you see
Between Jim, the preacher, the wino, and Bill and me
'Cause if the world is round and we all breathe air
We all laugh and we all get scared
We all have our share of good and bad times
Yeah we've all got a heart, we've all got a soul
And on the day that we're born we all start to grow old
Think about it, it really comes as no surprise
We all look the same through God's eyes
Yeah through God's eyes
