Lavern Baker Saved Lyrics

Saved Lyrics

I used to smoke

I used to drink

I used to smoke, drink, and dance
the hoochie-coo



I used to smoke and drink

Smoke and drink
and dance the hoochie-coo

Whoa yeah

But now I'm standin' on this
corner

Prayin' for a-me and you

Ah hah



That's why I'm
saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a,
kingdom come



You know I'm saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

I can preach until you're, deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul-savin'
army

Beatin' on that big a-bass drum

Whoa yeah



I used
to cuss

I used to fuss

I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night
long



I used to cuss and fuss

Cuss and fuss and boogie all
night long

Wah hah

But now I'm standin' on this corner

Ah-I
know right-a from wrong

Uh huh



That's why I'm saved
(saved)

I'm saved (saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a, kingdom
come



You know I'm saved (saved)

Ah, saved (saved)

I
can-a preach until you're, deaf and dumb

I'm in that soul-savin' army

Beatin' on that big a-bass drum

Whoa yeah







I used to lie (lie)

I used to cheat (cheat)

I used to
lie,(lie) cheat(cheat) and step on peoples feet



I used to lie and
cheat

Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet

Oh yeah

But now
I'm steppin' on the glory

Sal-vation is my beat

Whoa yeah



Because I'm saved (saved)

I'm saved (saved)

People let me tell
you 'bout a, kingdom come



You know I'm saved (saved)

Ah,
saved (saved)

I can-a preach until you're, deaf and dumb

I'm in
that soul-savin' army

Beatin' on that big a-bass drum

Whoa
