Sold My Soul

Well, do you say, "Nobody hears me when I pray"?
And if you say, "I don't care to live past what's today"
And if you say, "Oh, brother, last night I prayed"
Your preacher isn't preaching at home

And if you say, "Nobody hears me when I cry"
And if you say, "Well, I just don't understand why"
And if you say, "I just can't take it, I'm saying goodbye"
When you're walking, it's a heavy, heavy load

To make it lighter, sing

Sold my soul at the bottom of the hill
The demons there, they shaved my hair
And made me take their pills
My cold soul is at the bottom of the hill
I should have walked on by, let her cry
And only drank my fill

Some men they say, "There is more to us than is known"
Some ladies say, "Well, there's some things we're not shown"
All the people say, "You're stepping on our homes"
And your footprints, endeavors, never told

But still we'll sing

Sold my soul at the bottom of the hill
The demons there, they shaved my hair
And made me take their pills
My cold soul is at the bottom of the hill
I should have walked on by, let her cry
And only drank my fill
Only drank my fill
