Saved Lyrics

(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

I wanna soothe my my heart, I wanna ease my mind

I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find

I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes

I wanna reach out my hand until I touch the skies

I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole

But now I've found that light I'm gonna save my soul

I used to drink, I used to smoke

I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo

I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo

Oh yeh! And now I'm standing on thius corner praying for me and you

I-I-I That's why I'm saved I'm saved

People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come

You know I'm saved I'm saved

Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

I used to cuss, I used to fuss

I used to fuss, cuss, worry all night long

I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss, 

Cuss and fuss and worry all night long

Well now I'm standing on this corner, I know right from wrong

I-I-I That's why I'm saved I'm saved

People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come

You know I'm saved I'm saved

Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

I used to lie, I used to cheat

I used to lie, cheat, steal from people's feet

I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and steal from people's feet

Well now I'm steppin' on to glory salvation in my beat

Because I'm saved, I'm saved

People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come

I am saved I'm saved

Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

Oh yeh! Because I'm saved, I'm saved

People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come

You know I'm saved I'm saved

Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb

I'm saved, I'm saved I'm saved
