Saved

(album: Melody Fair - 1970)

I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie-coo
I used to smoke and drink

Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo, oh yeah
But now I'm standing on this corner
Praying for me and you
That's why I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know, I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long

But now, I'm standing on this corner
I know right from wrong
That's why I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know, I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

I used to lie, lie
I used to cheat, cheat
I used to lie, lie, cheat, cheat and step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on people's feet, oh yeah

But now I'm stepping on the glory
Salvation is my beat, oh yeah
Because I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

People, let me tell you about a kingdom come
You know, I'm saved, saved
Oh, saved, saved

I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

That's why I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved
I'm saved, saved

Saved
