- Ty England - Backslider’s Prayer Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- He said "I know this ain't the time or place
- Bur Lord I need to talk"
- In a business suit in a corner booth
- In a crowded little restaurant
- We all tried not to listen
- We all tried not to look
- But a whole room full of customers
- And the waitress and the cook
- All stopped what we were doin'
- When he bowed his head
- In that silence we heard every word he said
- "I been tryin' to do things my way
- Down here on life's highway
- Slippin' slidin' sideways
- 'Tween no way and nowhere
- If I could only gain a foothold
- Up there on your high road
- Lord if you hear me help me
- I'll do anything you tell me to
- All I've got to offer you is this
- Backslider's prayer
- Well the waitress made the first move
- When she filled his coffee cup
- She said "You ain't alone here mister
- You're speakin' for the rest of us"
- I heard some scattered "amens"
- And a couple of "I've been there's"
- Then things got back to normal
- The dishes and the silverwate
- Were clangin' in the kitchen
- Like an angel's band
- As I took my place in line
- To shake his hand ('cause)
- "I been tryin' to do things my way
- Down here on life's highway
- Slippin' slidin' sideways
- 'Tween no way and nowhere
- If I could only gain a foothold
- Up there on your high road
- Lord if you hear me help me
- I'll do anything you tell me to
- All I've got to offer you is this
- Backslider's prayer
- If I could only gain a foothold
- Up there on your high road
- Lord if you hear me help me
- I'll do anything you tell me to
- All I've got to offer you is this
- Backslider's prayer
