i write songs that feel good, i write songs that hurt, i've been known to turn a honky tonk into 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, 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, 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 must folks ain't, and i know the devil can't do much evil, if he's too damn drunk to stand, my angels got they hands full, i help the only way i can, 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, whether it's a one room tavern bar stool, or a little white church house pew, i find the faith, i fight the way, my jesus wants me to, me & god are good, despite all the wicked things i've done, if he'll save this back-slidin' bastard, then brother believe he'll save anyone, 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, 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
