Holy Water

Well, I drove 85 'bout a million times

Seen everything there was to see

Smoked so much Mary Jane

Don't affect me the same

So now I'm moving on to LSD

Had my way with Jack Daniel's and some girls

I don't remember when I moved down to Tennessee

Sold my soul to the devil, just to write some love letters

But it ain't working out for me

This holy water is what I need

To keep my sorrows from drowning over me

Lord, I can't keep pretending, I'm not a sinner

Lord knows I'm trying

Need this holy water to keep me from dying

Well, I've seen too many bottoms of a bottle

For me and my age, my mama would say

And I dug all the ditches and burned too many bridges

But that's just the price I pay

Heaven knows the hard living

And the Broadway women gonna take me to my grave

And that city isn't helping my state of mind

'Cause all their music sounds the same

This holy water is what I need

To keep my sorrows from drowning over me

Lord, I can't keep pretending, I'm not a sinner

Lord knows I'm trying

Need this holy water to keep me from dying

To keep me from dying

This holy water is what I need

To keep my sorrows from drowning over me, oh

Lord, I can't keep pretending, I'm not a sinner

Lord knows I'm trying

Need this holy water to keep me from dying

Keep me from dying
