Damascus Road

IN A SMALL CHURCH OUT IN POLK COUNTY
RIGHT ON THE BREAK OF DAWN
GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES
ASKED THE GOOD LORD PLEASE
LISTEN TO THIS SINNER’S SONG

RAISED ON FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
TAUGHT MY RIGHT FROM WRONG
FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACK
THERE AIN’T NO COMIN’ BACK
BURN IN HELL WHERE YOU BELONG

ROBBED A BANK DOWN AUSTIN
SHOT THAT GUARD IN MY WAY
RAISIN’ CAIN LIKE AN OLD WEST OUTLAW
WAITIN’ FOR HIS JUDGEMENT DAY

HANDS UP, HANDS UP
LET ME LIGHTEN THE LOAD
FOUND MY FAITH, FOUND MY SOUL
ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD

THERE CAME A PREACHER OUT OF FAIRVIEW
HEALIN’ HANDS UPON MY HEAD
WITH REDEMPTION IN SIGHT
SWORE I SAW THE LIGHT
FROM A STATE OF TEXAS DEATH ROW BED

HANDS UP, HANDS UP
LET ME LIGHTEN THE LOAD
FOUND MY FAITH, FOUND MY SOUL
ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD

HANDS UP, HANDS UP
LET ME LIGHTEN THE LOAD
FOUND MY FAITH, FOUND MY SOUL
ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD
ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD
ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD
