Protection by Lucinda Williams

I was (???)

as God is my witness, a crowded bar (?) where nobody could hear

Now I travel through the world with dedication

And I do (?), I do it all by my own sweet self

I need protection from the enemy love

I need protection from the enemy of righteousness

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of kindness

Give me protection from the enemy of love (above?)

I came into the world all alone

(?) to find a home

I tell you what a child (?) will reveal

My own child made me stand on my own two feet

I need protection from the enemy love

I need protection from the enemy of righteousness

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of kindness

Give me protection from the enemy of love

You know the people be grinning (?) and talking about me

Made me throw up my hands and call out time

But the world gonna stand with or without me

So I still get up and I keep on trying

Living in a world full of endless trouble

Living in a world with darkness double

But my girl (?) is with me when I stand up

And the gift I was given for not giving up

I need protection from the enemy love

I need protection from the enemy of rock and roll

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of soul

Give me protection from the enemy of love

I need protection from the enemy above

I need protection

Give me protection

I need protection

Give me protection

Yeah I need protection

Give me protection

I need protection

Give me protection
