Saved Songtext
von LaVern Baker

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
Whoa yeah
But now I′m standin' on this corner
Prayin′ for a-me and you
Ah hah
That's why I'm saved (saved)
I′m saved (saved)
People let me tell you ′bout a, kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I′m saved (saved)
I can preach until you're, deaf and dumb
I′m in that soul-savin' army
Beatin′ on that big a-bass drum
Whoa yeah 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
Wah hah
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Ah-I know right-a from wrong
Uh huh
That′s why I′m saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you ′bout a, kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
Ah, saved (saved)
I can-a preach until you′re, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin′ army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa yeah


I used to lie (lie)
I used to cheat (cheat)
I used to lie,(lie) cheat(cheat) and step on peoples feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet
Oh yeah
But now I'm steppin′ on the glory
Sal-vation is my beat
Whoa yeah
Because I′m saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you ′bout a, kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
Ah, saved (saved)
I can-a preach until you′re, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin′ army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa
