Preacher said I need to be saved

Better pray before they put me in the grave

If I wanna enter in

I've got to be born again

I just looked him in the eyes and said

When I wake up in the morning I'll be born again

When I get across the river I'll be born again

Every minute, every hour I am born again

And baby when I die I will be born again

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Said I need to get my ass to church

Give em ten percent of what I'm worth

A saint's work's done between the pews

Boy, I ain't got time to fight with you

I just looked him in the eyes and said

When I wake up in the morning I'll be born again

When I get across the river I'll be born again

Every minute, every hour I am born again

And baby when I die I will be born again

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again

And again, and again, and again

Jesus, I ain't ready to go to heaven

I wanna come back and be everything that there's ever been

Be a big oak tree and live for five hundred years

And if I can't, will you wipe away my tears?

When I wake up in the morning I'll be born again

When I get across the river I'll be born again

Every minute, every hour I am born again

And baby when I die I will be born again

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again

When I wake up in the morning I'll be born again

When I get across the river I'll be born again

Every minute, every hour I am born again

And baby when I die I will be born again

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, hey

And again
