Hook:
I’ve been out here for too long living life way too wrong; trying to make it on my own, I can’t do this for long; I’ve done loss half my life, bout to lose my mind
Lord hear my cry, Lord here’s my life
V1:
Let me tell you ’bout a story not too long ago; when I was hanging on the corner at the corner store
Drinking whiskey eight day playing dominos
Smoking err ’bout a pipe like Geronimo
Wasting time all the time, letting my time go
Working for nine to five trying to get my dough
Every other night bring another chicken home; with no respect for one lady on momma’s sow
Poppa was a rolling stone now he’s on the road
He had a lot of other kids so he was on the go
I would go to church every Sunday morning, no, I didn’t listen to the sermon but I heard them know.
Repeat Hook
V2:
Let me add to the story just a little more; tell you bout one time when I was all alone
Just to thinking bout my life like my life was gone
Many miles once told me boy I told you so
You can’t do it on your own, boy, without the Lord; Martin Luther had a dream, where’d your dream go?
Boy you living like a heathen neither say you so; I ain’t gone say it no more, cause you know I ain’t wrong
I am ready to come and see you at the funeral home; I know loving you is right, I don’t want to be wrong and we sat at the table with my finders shine, looking at the cross, know I make up my mind.
Hook
V3:
Let me tell you ’bout the day when I met the Lord and made my decision at the crossroads
I chose the right path, took a turn for the wrong
Took advice from the preacher man from minimal
I was living life wrong for far too long to change; had a grip for me that was far too strong
But I broke them for the power & the strength for the Lord; that’s what I’m talking ’bout it that’s right writing a song
So if you’re hanging on the corner at the store
Drinking whiskey everyday playing dominos
Just know somebody watching, and you ain’t it long
And if you call on His name; He’ll make ya whole.
Hook until end
