Only prayer that I know Curse the damned highway patrol When the wind is all you have to sow You reap the whirlwind Knuckles white headed south Can't avoid the slaughter house Don't look a gift horse in the mouth When your light is growing dim Bury my afflictions With my unrighteous years I don't want no resurrection To raise any of my tears Send no angel to me At the eleventh hour Just swing a little lower for me Chariot of fire What's a liar gonna do Finally try to tell the truth Like foil inside my ragged tooth Like a wasp inside my mouth Bury my afflictions With my unrighteous years I don't want no resurrection To raise any of my tears Send no angel to me At the eleventh hour Just swing a little lower for me Chariot of fire Too late to be circumspect Too deep on the razor's edge I am sober as a judge And the verdict's coming down Bury my afflictions With my unrighteous years I don't want no resurrection To raise any of my tears Send no angel to me At the eleventh hour Just swing a little lower for me Chariot of fire
