Lyrics
oh Lord, I called your name Back in 69
I was a scared and lonely kid, on the front line
I said if you would spare my life today
I would Spend the rest of it in a better way
no more smokin, no more drinkin, I would tow the line
No more cursin, no more swearin, I would always be kind
when I heard those sunday bells
I’d be in the first pew.
Just save me, Lord I pray today
And I’ll live for you!
Well, the bullets kept on Whizzin
Past my big old head
And the bombs, they kept on dropping
But I wasn’t dead
every day I woke up wishin
that I was in bed
when I doubted was when I shouted
The prayer in my head
no more smokin, no more drinkin, I would tow the line
No more cursin, no more swearin, I would always be kind
when I heard those sunday bells
I’d be in the first pew.
Just save me, Lord I pray today
And I’ll live for you!
Well, the Lord he did deliver me
from Vietnam
before I knew, I was on a plane
and coming home
I saw my girl, friends, and family
But they were so surprised
With all the changes in me!
no more smokin, no more drinkin, I would tow the line
No more cursin, no more swearin, I would always be kind
when I heard those sunday bells
I’d be in the first pew.
Just save me, Lord I pray today
And I’ll live for you!
