Leavin' Home

lyrics

Won't you lead me Lord
I's leaving, sorrow be my home
I'll say my prayers if it keeps me a'living
I'll say my prayers once all hope is withdrawn.
I'll say my prayers if it keeps me a'living
I'll say my prayers once that Satan is gone.

Won't you lead me, Lord I's leavin'
Sorrow be my home.
Won't you teach me Lord
You're all I know.
(Lord you know I's all alone)
Whisper in my ear
And tell me how to find my way
Keep me safe and I'll holler your praise.

Yes I was a wild one,
Lordie, yes I was a fool.
Maybe even told a lie or two
(Maybe told a lie or two)
Maybe I'm just hopeless
But I still might see the light,
Help me while I'm running through the night.

I know Lordy,
I been a sinner so long
I don't mess with confessions,
just take my song.
