Momma taught me to keep my eyes open because the days are evil
Tuck your shirt in, close your mouth, rest under the steeple
And pray you find God
Pray you find God
Momma said go and play with the kids down the street
Papa said straighten up and listen to me
One day you'll find out
One day you'll find out
Preacher says run up here and get your blessing
If you don't get God you'll find that you'll be burning
Just say the words now
Say the words now
If I say it, will I be well?
I just don't want to go to hell
If I say it, will he take my sin?
And will mom and dad and all the kids be home again?
It's been over a year now since I've spoken to you
There were so many things I wanted you to see me do
Time will take back, yes, time will take back
I wish I could've said all the things that you needed
I wish I would've have come over more to see you and the kids
Oh God, I regret that, You know, I regret that
If I pray it, will you stay?
I just want all of this to go away
If I say it, will you see
That in all this dirt its always been you and me
It was in the parking lot on National
It was in the night I watched the moon
It was in the company of a friend in a living room
That you spoke to me
I heard you in the words of my father
I heard you in the whistling of the trees
I heard you in the turning of our wheels
And when we swam in deep waters in the spring
