Well, the rain was a-fallin'
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people
Running from the flood
So I started to pray
Though I ain't no prayin' man
For the Lord to come a-helpin'
Knowing he'd understand
Deliver your children
To the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter
And a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning
And a light at night
If a thing goes wrong
You'd better make it right
Well, I had me a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all the day
With the washing machine
When it came to the loving
She was never around
She was out getting dirty
All over town
Deliver your children
To the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter
And a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning
And a light at night
If a thing goes wrong
You'd better make it right
Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way
To the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer
I said make it run
Well, I ain't got no money
But I've got me a gun
I said you robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track
Well, I ain't no devil
And I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer
By the colour of his paint
Deliver your children
To the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter
And a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning
And a light at night
If a thing goes wrong
You'd better make it right
Deliver your children
To the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter
And a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning
And a light at night
If a thing goes wrong
You'd better make it right
If you want good eggs
You better feed that hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again
