Redemption

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I write songs that feel good, I write songs that hurt I've been on the turn to honky tonk And a black baptist church, amen I know sin by his first name, I know salvation well You can say I saw the light in the flickerin' flames of hell [Chorus] I got a bottle of redemption on my shelf Child let me help you save yourself Good God almighty, we're glory bound And there's plenty of redemption to go around [Verse 2] I don't call myself a prophet, I can't say that I'm a saint But I've been down to the crossroads I've seen things that most folks ain't And I know the devil can't do much evil If he's too damn drunk to stand My angels got their hands full, I help the only way I can [Chorus] I got a bottle of redemption on my shelf Child let me help you save yourself Good God almighty, we're glory bound And there's plenty of redemption to go around [Verse 3] Whether it's a one room chaplain bar stool Or a little white church house pew I find the faith, I fight the way that Jesus wants me to If you ain't got a good spot, all the wicked things I've done If He'll save this back slidin' bastard Then, brother, believe He'll save anyone [Chorus] I got a bottle of redemption on my shelf Child let me help you save yourself Good God almighty, we're glory bound And there's plenty of redemption [Outro] I got a bottle of redemption on my shelf And I can't drink it all by myself Bow your head, fold your hands Gonna drink all the way to Glory Land I got a bottle of redemption
