Lyrics

Salvation

Mama says she doesn’t need my help

She can make it without tryin

Mama thinks she doesn’t need my love

Carry it around just to put it down

And mama doesn’t need my kiss

To make her happy

Oh, and she said she promised not to

Miss me when I go



Oh salvation comin down the line

I know I could be better than I am

Oh salvation comin down the line

I know


And daddy couldn't’ rest his hands

It only made him tired

Daddy thought he’d watch the time

But he couldn’t see it

It was flyin

Daddy had a bill to pay

And I watched him pay it

Oh, now I’m standing on his grave

God or the devil

Where do you think he made it?







Oh salvation, comin down the line

I know I could be better than I am

Oh salvation comin down the line

I know





And it’s crowed here

I count the hours

And I wonder if I can be saved

I welcome the dark





Oh salvation, comin down the line

I know I could be better than I am

Oh salvation

Oh salvation

Oh salvation
