Deliver Your Children

Well, the rain was a-fallin'

And the ground turned to mud

I was watching all the people

Running from the flood

So I started to pray

Though I ain't no prayin' man

For the Lord to come a-helpin'

Knowing he'd understand

Deliver your children

To the good good life

Give 'em peace and shelter

And a fork and knife

Shine a light in the morning

And a light at night

If a thing goes wrong

You'd better make it right

Well, I had me a woman

She was good and clean

She spent all the day

With the washing machine

When it came to the loving

She was never around

She was out getting dirty

All over town

Deliver your children

To the good good life

Give 'em peace and shelter

And a fork and knife

Shine a light in the morning

And a light at night

If a thing goes wrong

You'd better make it right

Well, I was low on money

And my truck broke down

I was on my way

To the lost and found

So I took it to a dealer

I said make it run

Well, I ain't got no money

But I've got me a gun

I said you robbed me before

So I'm robbing you back

And if it don't put you straight

It'll put you on the right track

Well, I ain't no devil

And I ain't no saint

But I can tell a dealer

By the colour of his paint

Deliver your children

To the good good life

Give 'em peace and shelter

And a fork and knife

Shine a light in the morning

And a light at night

If a thing goes wrong

You'd better make it right

Deliver your children

To the good good life

Give 'em peace and shelter

And a fork and knife

Shine a light in the morning

And a light at night

If a thing goes wrong

You'd better make it right

If you want good eggs

You better feed that hen

And if you wanna hear some more

Well, I'll sing it again
