Holy Water

Holy water running through my veins

Gonna cross myself, keep trying to change

Mercy on me in my hour of need

Holy water, here I go godspeed

I can hear my momma saying, "Boy, whatcha doing"

You don't change, you go straight to ruin

Think you know a thing, too bluing

Remember this, just keep on moving

Holy water running through my veins

Cure my ills, make me well again

Have mercy on me in my hour of need

Holy water, here I go godspeed

Momma cried in the courtroom that day

Saw her boy who used to laugh and play

Shoved through the door with my hands tied

When the jury spoke, I was given the time

Holy water running through my veins

Gonna cross myself, try to change

Mercy on me in my hour of need

Holy water, here I go godspeed

Holy water running through my veins

Cure my ills, make me well again

I cross myself, heal my sins

Holy water from the outside in

Holy water, holy water
