lyrics

SAVED
I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie coo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie coo
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Prayin' for me and you

Because I'm saved
(I'm saved)
I'm saved
(I'm saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved
(I'm saved)
I'm saved
(Saved)
I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum

I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
But now I'm standin' on this corner
I know right a from wrong

Cos I'm saved
(I'm saved)
I'm saved
(I'm saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved
(Saved)
Ah, saved
(Ah, saved)
I can a preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum, whoa yeah

I used to lie
I used to cheat
I used to lie
Cheat
And step on peoples feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet
But now I'm standing on this corner
Salvation is my beat

Because I'm saved
(I'm saved)
I'm saved
(I'm saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved
(I'm saved)
Ah, saved
(Saved)
I can a preach until you're, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum

I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum

I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum

about

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers image

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers London, UK

Bob Collum & the Welfare Mothers make a cool noise. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, alot of rock & roll, add a smidgen of folk, and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop), and equal measures of joy and sadness ... more
