Send Backslider Ringtone to your Cell
Bended knee
Nine years old
Waitin' for
Just one word!
I was thinkin' of all the things
My daddy told me of
Sin and salvation and
Manhood and dignity
All that time
In the dark
Just one word
Backslider!
I remember the day I stepped into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed my head under
And said
"Son I am
So proud
Just one word
Backslider!"
Backslider!
Backslider!
Well I opened my eyes
And my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
And thought I saw Jesus, and then
Then
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
