[Verse 1]
I used to smoke

I used to smoke, drink
And dance the hoochie coo
[Verse 2]
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie coom whoa, yeah
But now I'm standing on this corner
Pray I'm gonna need you
[Verse 3]
That's why I'm saved (Saved)
I'm saved (Saved)
Ah, people let me tell you 'bout a
Kingdom come, you know I'm saved (Saved)
I'm saved (Saved), I'm gonna preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in the soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big bass drum, whoa, yeah
[Verse 4]
I used to cuss
I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss
And boogie all night long
[Verse 5]
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long, whoa, yeah
But now I'm standing on this corner
I know right from wrong, whoa, yeah

Ah, people let me tell you 'bout a
Kingdom come, you know I'm saved (Saved)
