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
Lord, it's true
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Prayin' for me and you, yeah

That's why I'm saved (Saved)
I am saved (Saved)
Now people let me tell you 'bout, ah
Kingdom come
How I'm saved (Saved)
Lord, saved (Saved)
Now, I'm gonna preach it 'til you're
Deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big 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 from wrong

That's why I'm saved (Saved)
I am saved (Saved)
Now, people let me tell you 'bout, ah
Kingdom come
And why I'm saved (Saved)
Oh, saved (Saved)
Now, I'm gonna preach until you're
Deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum

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 steppin' on the glory
Salvation is my dream

That's why I'm saved (Saved)
I am saved (Saved)
Now, people let me tell you 'bout, ah
Kingdom come
And why I'm saved (Saved)
Lord, saved (Saved)
Now, I'm gonna preach until you're
Deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum

That's why I'm saved (Saved)
I am saved (Saved)
Now, people let me tell you 'bout, ah
Kingdom come
And why I'm saved (Saved)
Oh, saved (Saved)
Now, I'm gonna preach until you're
Deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum

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