Saving grace

One time around the block
Two times around the clock
Three times,
Don't cross the little lady
(Lady)

So pretty and, oh, so bold
Got a heart full of gold
On a lonely road
She said,
"I don't even think
That God can save me"
(Save me)

(Am I) gainin' ground
(Am I) losin' face
(Have I)
Lost and found
My saving grace
Thankful for the gift
My angels gave me

Born alone, we die alone
'N' I'm just sittin' here
By the phone
Waitin' for the Lord
To send my callin'

Street wise
From the boulevard
Jesus only knows
That she tries too hard
She's only tryin' to keep
The sky from fallin'

Any man who says
It's Heaven and Hell
Prob'ly got somethin'
Useless to sell
You ask me if I'm saved,
But what's it to ya?

Blow a quarter,
Cop another eight
You're runnin' out
Of high,
You're losin' your faith
Throw your hands up
And scream,
"Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Amen

One time around the sun
Another year older
And my work ain't done
It's time for me to write
The final chapter
(Chapter)

Deal the cards
And roll the dice
Sex, drugs
And rock 'n' roll
Are my only vice
Tryin' to figure out
Just what's here after
(Here after)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Amen
