Billy Ray Cyrus

[Verse 1]
He's halfing his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth
Putting them back in a sack his mama packed
With a sticker that say's Jesus Loves You
He's jumping off the bus, running in the house
Talking to mom about his day
Hiding that paper sack in a baseball glove
Riding his bike straight to the freeway
Where there's an old man with a shopping cart
With a dirty face and a purple heart
Who's saying son you'll never know how much this means

[Chorus]
Boy say's
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reaching out to you
Wouldn't you give me food to eat if I were hungry to
Wouldn't you do this for me

[Verse 2]
Tonight, that little boy's dad is flying down the freeway
It's pouring rain as he leaves the road
He's rolling down that concrete bank
Through the flames and the broken glass
An old man takes his hand
Finds a cell phone on the backseat
He's saying get here fast as you can
Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge
Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch
Man asked why'd you risk your life to save mine

[Chorus]
He said
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reaching out to you
Wouldn't you try to save my life, if I needed you to
Wouldn't you do this for me

[Verse 3]
Now he's laying in that hospital bed praying a silent prayer
And he can't help but ask him
Lord, did you put that beggar there
As a nurse pulls back the curtains
All he can see is a billboard sign
A sixty foot Jesus hanging' on the cross
At the bottom, just one line

[Outro]
Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you
