Backslider

Lyrics

Bended knee
 Nine years old
 Waiting for
 Just one word
 I was thinkin' of all the things
 My daddy told me of
 Sin and salvation and
 Manhood and dignity
 All that time
 In the dark
 Just one word
 Backslider
 I remember the day I stepped
 Into the water
 My daddy held me in his hands
 And pushed my head under
 And said
 Son I am
 So proud
 Just one word
 Backslider
 Backslider
 Backslider
 Well I opened my eyes
 And my daddy held me in his hands
 I looked up through the water
 And thought I saw Jesus and then
 Well I threw up my hands
 And I heard Amen
 And I prayed sweet Jesus
 Don't let me become a backslider
 Backslider
 Backslider
 Backslider
