I used to smoke

I used to drink

I used to smoke, drink, and dance the hoochie-coo

I used to smoke and drink

Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo

Whoa yeah

But now I'm standin' on this corner

Prayin' for a-me and you

Ah hah

That's why I'm saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a, kingdom come

You know I'm saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

I can preach until you're, deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul-savin' army

Beatin' on that big a-bass drum

Whoa yeah

I used to cuss

I used to fuss

I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long

I used to cuss and fuss

Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long

Wah hah

But now I'm standin' on this corner

Ah-I know right-a from wrong

Uh huh

That's why I'm saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a, kingdom come

You know I'm saved (saved)

Ah, saved (saved)

I can-a preach until you're, deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul-savin' army

Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
