Sinner

Take me down
By the river
Anoint my head
Bless this sinner

I can do wrong
I need forgiveness
Sure as God
Is my witness

I had a few too many drinks of liquor
Shoulda taken a loaded gun to make it quicker
I knew that it was gasoline for demons

They awoke took a toke started looking for trouble that's for sure
And I swung and swayed, stumbled from the shade
Did what I wasn't supposed to do and from the path I strayed

Take me down
So I can see
Open my eyes
Purify me

I duck my head to be ready for the coming
Of a spear shootin down from the side of a mountain
They told me in valley that there would be demons
Deep inside they would hide not acknowledging that they'd be crucified
But I came this way, now I have to pay
I got to walk in the sun with no chance of getting shade

This man ain't all, man ain't all, man ain't all he's supposed to be

Take me down
By the river
Anoint my head
Bless this sinner
