Poison in the Well

I was raised on the Methodist bible King James new testament

In a mighty fortress, stained glassed cathedral filled with righteousness

Mama taught me bout fearin' God a belt strap in her hand

Praying she could deliver me to the promised land

I fell far from of grace it's a long way down

Fought my way out of salvation a king without a crown

I made a choice between heaven and hell

You can't drink the holy water when there's

Poison in the well

Poison in the well

My fall started slowly temptations tantalize

'Ol devil was selling his thrills The PARTY proselytized

Drinking was liberation smoke paradise

Testifying on Sunday morning still tripping from Saturday night

I fell far from of grace it's a long way down

Fought my way out of salvation a king without a crown

I made a choice between heaven and hell

You can't drink the holy water when there's

Poison in the well

Poison in the well

If you're living in the grimy shadows, there is a better way

He can turn the poison water into the wine of faith

I fell far from of grace it's a long way down

Fought my way out of salvation a king without a crown

I made a choice between heaven and hell

You can't drink the holy water when there's

Poison in the well

Poison in the well
