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
But now I'm standin' on the corner
Prayin' for me and you
That's right, I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout Kingdom Come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
And I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in the soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum
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
But now I'm standin' on the corner
And I know right from wrong
That's right, I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout Kingdom Come
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
And I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in the soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum
Amen
I used to lie (lie)
I used to cheat (cheat)
I used to lie (lie), cheat (cheat) and step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on people's feet
But now I'm steppin' on to glory
Salvation is my beat
Now I'm saved (saved)
That's right, I'm saved (saved)
Yeah, people let me tell you 'bout Kingdom Come
I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in the soul-savin' army
Beatin' on a big bass drum
