Deliver Me

They followed him for seven days And lost him when he turned away From where they thought He would surely go But they caught him up in Lewistown And when they shot that convict down They could hear him Praying soft and slow Deliver me Let your waters wash over me Deliver me I'm lost and alone And I wanna come home She was just a simple girl Been a step behind a changing world Ever since the day she was born So she found herself a city gent He loved her for a while and then She cried as he walked out the door Deliver me Let your waters wash over me Deliver me I'm lost and alone And I wanna come home You been using and you been using All your precious time No use crying You've been trying to stay ahead Of what you left behind You oughta stop trying I've been here for oh so long Only barely holding on To everything I always thought was true But all my diamonds turned to dust There's nowhere I can place my trust Someone has the answer But I don't know who Deliver me Let your waters wash over me Deliver me I'm lost and alone And I wanna come home
