Lyrics

I used to drink, I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke
And drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh-oh, yeah! But now I'm standing on this corner
Praying for me and you
That's why I'm saved, I'm saved
(Saved, saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved, I'm saved
(Saved, saved)
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss and cuss and fuss
And cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Well now I'm standing on this corner
I know right from wrong
That's why I'm saved, I'm saved
(Saved, saved, saved, saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved, I'm saved
(Saved, saved, saved, saved)
Well now I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum
I used to lie, I used to cheat
(Lie! Cheat!)
I used to lie, cheat, step on people's feet
(Lie! Cheat!)
I used to lie and cheat, lie and
Cheat and step on people's feet
Oh-oh, yeah
Well, now I'm steppin' on to glory
Salvation in my beat
Because I'm saved, I'm saved
(I'm saved, I'm saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
I am saved, I'm saved
(I'm saved, I'm saved)
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum
(I'm saved, I'm saved)
(Kingdom come)
(I'm saved, I'm saved, kingdom come)
I'm in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum
Because I'm saved, I'm saved
(I'm saved, I'm saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved, I'm saved
(I'm saved, I'm saved)
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm saved
