Lyrics

I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie-coo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo
Whoa, yeah
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Prayin' for a-me and you
Ah, hah
That's why I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I can a-preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Wah, hah
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Ah, I know right-a from wrong
Uh, huh
That's why I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I can a-preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah
I used to lie (lie), I used to cheat (cheat)
I used to lie (lie), cheat (cheat)and step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on people's feet
Oh, yeah
But now I'm steppin' on the glory
Salvation is-a my beat
Whoa, yeah
Because I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
Oh, saved (saved)
I can a-preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah
That's why I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
Ah-ah (saved)
Ah-ah (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
Oh, yeah (saved)
Oh, yeah (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
Mm-hmm (saved)
Mm-hm-hm
Ah-ha-ha(saved)
Ooh-hoo-hoo (saved)
Ah-ha-ha (saved)
Oh, oh (saved)
Whoa-oh (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
