Backslider Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bended knee
Nine years old
Waiting for
Just one word
[Verse 2]
I was thinkin' of all the things
My daddy told me of
Sin and salvation and
Manhood and dignity
[Verse 3]
All that time
In the dark
Just one word
Backslider
[Bridge]
I remember the day I stepped
Into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed my head under
And said
[Verse 4]
Son, I am
So proud
Just one word
Backslider

Backslider
[Verse 5]
Well, I opened my eyes
As my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
And I thought I saw Jesus and then
Yeah
[Verse 6]
Well, I threw up my hands
And I heard "Amen"
And I prayed, "Sweet Jesus
Don't let me become a backslider"
Backslider
Backslider
Backslider
Yeah
