Can't Win for Losin'

Preacher, preacher, pray for me

I'm treading water of liberty

Like a fire, set me free

Brimstone, be my peace

Oh Lord, if You condemn me to freedom

I'm chained by the blues

I can't win for losin'

I can't win for losin'

Mama, Mama, don't cry

I'm on the wrong side of right

Oh, in the darkness, I'm the light

In my truth, I will rise

Oh Lord, if You condemn me to freedom

I'm chained by the blues

I can't win for losin'

If I'm unholy when I'm whole

And happy in my soul

When it's my time to go

I'm a lost cause, fasho

You condemn me to freedom

I'm chained by the blues

I can't win for losin'

I can't win for losin'

Oh, I can't win for losin'

I can't win for losin'
