Parody of "Name" performed by Goo Goo Dolls and written by John Rzeznik & Robby Takac
(Luke 7:11-17)
NOTE: This song was recorded live at Ten Mile Creek in Fredericktown PA on Sept. 14, 1996. It was originally released on a homemade cassette called "Fredericktown" in late 1996.
Even though the mourners passed me by
I couldn't turn away
I saw the son I never thought I'd lose
Lost and passed away
In a casket with an open lid
Walked toward the grave
His father died before him
I thought I'd do the same
But not before he made himself a name
Junior died before me and way before his time
And I don't have no one remaining
And I'm in a town called Nain
Chapter seven in the book of Luke
We passed another crowd
Jesus Christ himself appeared right there
And He got to see my child
And it made Him sad to see that sight
With mourners all around
He pulled up straight to the casket
Said, "Now there, woman, do not weep!"
The people all were stunned in disbelief
He touched my son and said, "C'mon
It's time to wake you up"
And my son arose once again
And I'm in a town called Nain
LEAD
I thanked Him kindly for His time
Now I don't need a thing
This lonely widow's got her son back now
And I'm in a town called Nain
Luke 7:11
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him.
