Dana Fuchs - Bible Baby lyrics

rate me

Mama's first baby, barely two

Daddy needed the bottle more than you

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Mama got a rap sheet keepin' you fed

said there was nothing to do instead

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Now run off to your room

Put that Bible in your hand

Don't expect to see you soon

Looks like you found your promise land

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Barely 17 and a voice of gold

gave up the guitar to save your soul

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Mama keeps saying everything's cool

but you know different from the kids in school

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Chorus

Now the world just thinks you're crazy

The preachers say you're lazy

But glory to the Highest - glory to the Highest

Mama's poor baby at 32 - Daddy's still drunk,

he blames you

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Gave up on the world you never saw

Gave your life to a God that ignored it all

Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive

Chorus
