Deliver Your Children

Well, the rain was a-failin' and the ground turned to mud I was watching all the people running from the flood So I starred to payin' though I ain't no prayin' man For the Lord to come a helpin', knowing He'd understand Deliver your children to the good good life Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife Shine a light in the morning and a light at night And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right Well, I had a woman, she was good and clean She'd spent all day with the washing machine But when it come to lovin', she was never around She was out getting dirty all over town Deliver your children to the good good life Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife Shine a light in the morning and a light at night And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down I was on my way to the lost and the found So I took it to a dealer, I said make it run Well, I ain't got no money but I got me a gun I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back And if it don't put you straight, it'll put you on the right track Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint But I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint Deliver your children to the good good life Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife Shine a light in the morning and a light at night And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right Deliver your children to the good good life Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife Shine a light in the morning and a light at night And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right If you want good eggs, you gotta feed that hen And if you wanna hear some more, well, I'll sing it again
