Toadies Backslider
Bended knee
Nine years old
Waiting for
just one word
I was thinking of all the things my daddy told me of
sin and salvation, manhood and dignity
all that time in the dark, just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I remember the day I stepped into the water
my daddy held me in his hands and pushed my head under
and said: "Son I am so proud" just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I opened my eyes my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up to the water thought I saw Jesus there
then, I threw up my hands and I heard a man and prayed
sweet Jesus don't let me become a backslider
