greg brown - poor back slider lyrics
i’m a poor backslider in the pit of sin
i try to crawl out. i slip back in
come savior save me–get ahold of my hand
please don’t let me slide back in the dark again
well the preacher told me hope was never gone
i combed my hair with water and put my white shirt on
one sunday morning i put the family in the car
dropped them down at church and went on down to the bar
audrey left me and she tooks my kids
i miss them children–i’m sorry for what i did
when i get drinking i lose control
when you lose your family it’s like you lost your soul
now the mill is failing, i’m on shifting sand
i sit in my trailer and i wring my hands
no children’s voice, no woman’s touch
just a whiskey bottle, some shotgun sh-lls and such
should not have let that woman get me so annoyed
should not of hit my girl; should not of struck my boy
should not of took off running like a turkey through the corn
should not of bought this gun; should not of ever been born
the preacher told me jesus laid down his life for my sin
well i’d lay mine down too if i could do it like him
three days in the grave–that sounds good to me
i just have some problems with eternity
i’m a poor backslider in the pit of sin
i try to crawl out. i slip back in
come savior save me–get ahold of my hand
please don’t let me slide back in the dark again
