The Good Lord Lyrics

[00:23.96] Well, I pray every day
[00:27.32] That the good Lord keep me safe
[00:31.66] And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
[00:38.38] Give a man a day
[00:40.36] So I can see your pretty face
[00:44.35] Until I arrive in your arms
[00:48.91]
[00:54.03] Well, I don't know what you doin'
[00:58.54] Fightin' in this silly war
[01:01.81] You're not a yankee, love
[01:05.09] Nor a grey-back confederate
[01:07.25] Tryna keep these slaves abhorred
[01:11.10] You were just a simple man
[01:14.93] Tryna do these things the best you can
[01:20.08] Now it's time to come on home
[01:23.41] I got a baby in the oven
[01:25.97] That I need to dine before she gets old
[01:28.95] Well I pray, every day
[01:32.37] That the good Lord keep me safe
[01:36.72] And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
[01:43.36] Give a man a day so I can see your pretty face
[01:48.93] Until I arrive in your arms
[01:53.82]
[01:59.13] Well, I don't know what I'm doin'
[02:02.44] Fightin' in this stupid war
[02:06.80] I'm not a yankee or a grey-back anymore
[02:13.41] I've killed so many men
[02:15.82] Just to kill so many more
[02:20.02] Just wanna see my baby before I die
[02:26.74] In this shitstorm
[02:30.63]
[02:55.49] Well, I pray every day
[02:59.18] That the good Lord keep me safe
[03:03.48] And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
[03:10.05] Give a man a day so I can see your pretty face
[03:15.81] Until I arrive in your arms
[03:22.13] Well, I pray every day
[03:25.75] That the good Lord keep me safe
[03:30.16] And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
[03:36.89] Give a man a day so I can see your pretty face
[03:42.59] Until I die in your arms
[03:49.00] Until I die in your arms
[03:55.69] Until I die in your arms
[04:07.96]
