Save Me

[Verse 1]
Bare feet on a cold floor
Bills stacked like a graveyard stone
Whiskey on the Bible
Phone full of names all gone
I stare at that cracked door
Like something gonna walk through
But it's just me and this silence
And the weight of what I put You through
[Chorus]
Save me
Save me
You know my story
Every broken piece
You know my pain when I can't breathe
You know my needs
Down to my last heartbeat
Lord Jesus
I can't make it
I can't make it without You
Save me (yeah)
Save me
[Verse 2]
I’ve cussed at the heavens
Said I’d change
Then I changed right back
Played saint on a Sunday
Turned sinner when the sky turned black
My mama's old cross chain
Still hangs on my rearview
I see it swingin' in the dark
Like it's pointin' my way back to You
[Chorus]
Save me
Save me
You know my story
Every crooked street
You know my pain
Every night half asleep
You know my needs when I got nothin' to eat
Lord Jesus
I can't make it
I can't make it without You
Save me (oh)
Save me
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to bare stomp and clap
Low chant behind the lead]
I tried money
Tried medicine
Tried runnin' from my own skin
Tried bottles
Tried bargainin'
But every road just led me here again
(Here again, here again)
[Chorus]
Save me
Save me
You know my story
Every secret sin
You know my pain burnin' under my skin
You know my needs when the night’s closin’ in
Lord Jesus
I can't take one step
I can't take one breath
Without You
Save me (oh Lord)
Save me

folk, Raspy male vocals over a swampy blues-country stomp, deep toms and claps driving a shamanic pulse. Dirty slide guitar and mournful fiddle weave around a gritty baritone. Verses stay low and intimate, kicked-up dust and breathy confessions; chorus explodes with gang-style backing vocals and a soaring harmony. Sub-bass swells underline the “save me” hook, with a short, chant-like bridge that builds into a final, cathartic chorus., inspiring, blues, country
