The Lost Songtext
von Jelly Roll

I see your fire and brimstone
That billboard sign on the road
But you can′t scare me to Heaven
With gasoline on my soul

This that back road baptism, weed smokin', and syrup sippin′
Whiskey river, carry me home

I've been known to find my kind of people
That ain't at home underneath church steeples
You′d be surprised the places I find Jesus
That ain′t the regular crowd
I've been down and out
I′m better with the lost than the found
My solid ground is better with the lost than the found

I learn my lessons in dive bars (I learn my lessons in dive bars)
Had Sunday school on the streets (had Sunday school on the streets)
I've done my searchin′ behind bars (I've done my searchin′ behind bars)
Red letters settin' me free

This that back road baptism, weed smokin', and syrup sippin′
Whiskey river carry me home


I′ve been known to find my kind of people
That ain't at home underneath church steeples
You′d be surprised the places I find Jesus
That ain't the regular crowd
I′ve been down and out
I'm better with the lost than the found
My solid ground is better with the lost than the found

I′m better with the lost than the found (with the lost than the found)
Lord, won't you hear my prayers?
I'm better with the lost than the found (with the lost than the found)
It′s where I find my solid ground

This that back road baptism, weed smokin′, and syrup sippin'
Whiskey river carry me home

I′ve been known to find my kind of people
That ain't at home underneath church steeples
You′d be surprised the places I find Jesus
That ain't the regular crowd
I′ve been down and out
I'm better with the lost than the found
My solid ground is better with the lost than the found
