Prompt:

*(Mid-tempo gospel shuffle. Piano, upright bass, accordion, handclaps.)* ### Verse 1 I'm the one still looking For the road everybody else found. The last light in the parking lot, The extra folding chair pulled down. I might miss a few directions. Get lost on purpose sometimes. Still got questions in my pocket... Even when I ain't got a dime ###Chorus Just ask Doubting Thomas. He'll tell you the same damn thing Countin' on the Straggler's Promise— And dancing to the highland fling ### Verse 2 I've seen saints lose all patience Over biscuits at the chapel café. I've seen the town drunk Carry groceries For the little lady down the way They say the Lord told a whole lotta stories People like me never heard Maybe they're sold in the marketplace Twenty-five cents for a word ###Chorus Just ask Doubting Thomas. He'll tell you the same damn thing Countin' on the Straggler's Promise— And dancing to the highland fling ### Bridge Moses argued, Jonah ran. Peter sank into the sea. Jacob slept on a hard hard rock The Lord'll save a place for me *(Piano and accordion.)* --- ### Final Chorus Here's the Straggler's Promise— Everybody makes it home. The Shepherd he counts backward. Leaves ninety-nine To find the one. Just ask Doubting Thomas. He'll tell you the same damn thing Countin' on the Straggler's Promise— And dancing to the highland fling Countin' on the Straggler's Promise— And dancing to the highland fling
