"Delivered" lyrics
It's the curse of a man
Follow the plan
Callusing your hands paying Uncle Sam
What they leave you with they don't give a damn
That's the price you pay for a piece of their land
From sun up to the dinner bell
Tight rope walk between heaven and hell
Locked in a blue-collar prison cell
Give up half your life call it "living well"
They tell you that it's worth the trade
Slave to a dollar now you're bound to change
Like a hound in chains
Tied down in pain
Kinda sounds insane. Right?
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
So, what's it gonna be when opportunity knocks?
Take on the risk, push off the dock
Never really knowing when the engine might fail
Begging for a little bit of wind in my sails
The best of me
Or the rest of me
My destiny
Or what's left of me
I could stay in this safe place and hide
Rather take my chance, let fate decide
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
Though these seas keep on churning
My wheels keep on turning
Those bridges are burning
There ain't no returning
No
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
You can call me "delivered"
Follow the plan
Callusing your hands paying Uncle Sam
What they leave you with they don't give a damn
That's the price you pay for a piece of their land
From sun up to the dinner bell
Tight rope walk between heaven and hell
Locked in a blue-collar prison cell
Give up half your life call it "living well"
They tell you that it's worth the trade
Slave to a dollar now you're bound to change
Like a hound in chains
Tied down in pain
Kinda sounds insane. Right?
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
So, what's it gonna be when opportunity knocks?
Take on the risk, push off the dock
Never really knowing when the engine might fail
Begging for a little bit of wind in my sails
The best of me
Or the rest of me
My destiny
Or what's left of me
I could stay in this safe place and hide
Rather take my chance, let fate decide
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
Though these seas keep on churning
My wheels keep on turning
Those bridges are burning
There ain't no returning
No
Like a wildfire I can't contain
Rock 'n' roll running through my veins
Tryna find that place where I belong
Before I wind up wasted dead and gone
Like a backwoods sinner
Finger on the trigger
Turning to the Lord
Baptized and forgiven
Born in the flames
Cleansed by the river
Six-string saved
You can call me "delivered"
You can call me "delivered"
