ABOVE THE WATER

Stumble in the door, a quarter pass three Drink a little more, but it's not what I need Achin' in my head, guilty in my chest And this ain't who I wanna be I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir, and told me that I was her son I run from the father, end up workin' harder to do what's already been done Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water Been 80 miles an hour, seven days a week Livin' off of Folgers and these Earthwood strings The band needs payin', so the bills will have to wait I can use a dollar and a lil' more faith And I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir, and told me that I was her son I run from the father, end up workin' harder to do what's already been done Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh If you're listenin', I'm givin' in And I lay my God down If you'll let me, I'm ready to drown And I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir, and told me that I was her son I run from the father, end up workin' harder to do what's already been done Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water
