A Straighter Line

Do you feel his hand on your shoulder The way that I feel on mine For if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness He can put you walkin on a straighter line For many years I struggled, demons on my back Never thought I'd see the light of day An em demons fought like hell To pull me to the black And never did the good lord turn away I thought whiskey and cocaine would ease my sorrows But it only took me closer to the grave I was livin for today and not tomororow I believe my soul's too far gone to save Do you feel his hand on your shoulder The way that I feel on mine For if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness He can put you walkin on a straighter line Sun rising sunday morning sendin people off to chrurch Find me havin never seen the bed I was sinking, ever sinking, feeling things were getting worse Saw my body in a casket lyin dead Surrounded by strangers in a prison With no where to turn but on high Having wasted every blessing I was given I prayed lord please give me grace before I die Do you feel his hand on your shoulder The way that I feel on mine For if your soul's been swallowed up by darkness He can put you walkin on a straighter line He can put you walkin on a straighter line
