I'm an outcast that no one can save anymore
|
and the days of my youth, have all long gone by now
|
I was the kind of boy the devil would offer a smoke or a drink to
|
or a ride downtown to some God forsaken land
|
|
One Sunday morning at dawn you know they baptized my soul
|
but they held me down so long Christ I almost drowned
|
Yeah I was the kind of boy who never learned to smile
|
so I kicked and I screamed
|
'till I tore myself lose from all these great big hands Oh Yeah
|
|
Chorus:
|
Wiseblood knows how to walk the way the wind blows
|
Wiseblood hears grace whisper right behind
|
|
My mommma, she turned around and said
|
"Little boy you better wake up....cause your a walking dead"
|
Oh she was the kind a girl who never touched a smoke or a drink
|
she just smoldered like an empty church left to burn in the wind
|
