Songtext von Backslider

Bended knee Nine years old Waiting for Just one word! I was thinkin' of all the things My daddy told me of Sin and salvation and 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! Well I opened my eyes And my daddy held me in his hands I looked up through the water And thought I saw Jesus standin' THERE! Well I threw up my hands! And I heard, Amen! And I prayed, sweet Jesus Don't let me become a backslider! Backslider! Backslider! Backslider!
