I remember Sunday morning getting up when I was a kid,
Headed down towards that steeple, thats where folks back then did,
Wed sing all five of them verses from Amazing Grace,
Then daddy dropped harden money in the offering plate.
After Sunday school it was Davis brothers chicken,
Tea was sweeter than molasses, funny how time passes.
Never knew back then how my life would be now,
How far I wonder off that narrow road I went down.
Dont know where Im going or where its all gone,
Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul for a song.
Im surrounded by all of these six screen dreams,
Standing in the spotlight and cant see a thing.
Im sick and damn tired of all the hustling and scheming,
Id give it all up to get back to even.
Im lookin round for something I can still believe in,
Im dreaming of angels, but living with demons.
I think about my life now and what it used to be,
Now that Ive seen behind the curtain, nothings new to me.
Ive known some fallen angels try to take me down
And Ive got a few good time buddies, whiskey bent and hell bound.
Another sleepless night with a rod guitar,
Its screaming in my veins, about to drive me insane.
But I woke up Sunday morning to the church bells ringing
And somewhere in my heart theres still a choir singing.
Dont know where Im going or where its all gone,
Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul for a song.
Im surrounded by all of these six screen dreams,
Standing in the spotlight and cant see a thing.
Im sick and damn tired of all the hustling and scheming,
Id give it all up to get back to even.
Im lookin round for something I can still believe in,
Im dreaming of angels, but living with demons.
Hey, how You doing?
I know its been a while.
Ive been running crazy and that aint really no excuse, but
This whole world is running crazy,
People killing each other, fighting wars,
We forgot about You and a lot of places
And the truth is, we still really need You,
I really need You.
So I promise I wont stay away so long next time.
Ill be back sooner than later.
Thanks for always carrying me when I was too weak to walk.
Well, I gotta get out of here, but Ill talk to You again soon.
Thanks, God.
