"Searching For Heaven" lyrics

Searchin for heaven
I found the devil
Never be ready
When it's your time
Standin for nothin
You fall for whatever
We down for whatever
Might cross your mind

And momma said
Boy don't you run from
The mess that you started
For you'll be the one end
Up broken and hearted
Stand on your own
Till you own what you stand on
Till you turn to gold
All that you put your hands on
Your hands on
I swear I am

You can have whatever that you want to
Isn't really nothin that you won't do
Comin from the bottom where we rise
You can meet me on the other side

I will be there
Standin on business we never back down
Won't ask for forgiveness after we crash out
Even though we made it through the worst
Swear it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt

Searchin for heaven
I found the devil
Never be ready
When it's your time
Standin for nothin
You fall for whatever
We down for whatever
Might cross your mind

And momma said
Boy don't you run from
The mess that you started
Boy don't you run from
The mess that you started

For you'll be the one end
Up broken and hearted
Stand on your own
Till you own what you stand on
Till you turn to Gold
All that you put your hands on
Your hands on

I swear I am
(I swear I am)
(I swear I am)

Swear I am

Yeah
I went from the cradle to the grave
From the grave to the cradle
I've been around a thousand times
Prayin my truth might save 'em
They said you only get one live
But I know that's a real true fable
This body is just a new label
Stuck on an old crusader
God gave me the scoop soup ladle
Now I'm eating a stew potatoes
Used to work in old shoes broke
Now I'm rocking these boots new gators
So tell me who are you playa
Just another leaf in the wind
Fallin off the branches in the storm
Or are you a tree that only bends

Never broke, never played pretend
Never shake not a weak human
A creative genius child from the trauma
I was in it
Getting beat by my step daddy's belt
Or maybe that car wreck did it
An angels grace come out of heaven
But I had to go to hell, I admit it
Amen

Searchin for heaven
I found the devil
Never be ready
When it's your time
Standin for nothin
You fall for whatever
We down for whatever
Might cross your mind

And momma said
Boy don't you run from
The mess that you started
(Boy don't you run from
The mess that you started)
For you'll be the one end
Up broken and hearted
(For you'll be the one)
(For you'll be the one)
Stand on your own
Till you own what you stand on
Till you turn to Gold
All that you put your hands on
Your hands on
I swear I am

I swear I am
(I swear I am)
(I swear I am)

I swear I am
