From the recording SALVATION
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
