 Well, the rain was a-fallin'
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people
Running from the flood
So I started to prayin'
Though I ain't no prayin' man
For the Lord to come a helpin'
Knowing he'd understand
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right
Well, I had me a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all day
With the washing machine
But when it come to lovin'
She was never around
She was out getting dirty
All over town
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right
Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way
To the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer
I said, "Make it run.
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun."
I said, "You robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track."
Well, I ain't no devil
And I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer
By the color of his paint
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right
If you want good eggs
You gotta feed the hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again
