about

(originally performed by the Toadies / lyrics by Vaden Todd Lewis)

lyrics

Bended knee / nine years old / waitin' for.../ just one word!
I was thinkin' of all the things / my daddy told me of
sin and salvation and / manhood and dignity...
all that time / in the dark / just one word...backslider!
I remember the day I stepped / into the water
my daddy held me in his hands / and pushed my head under / and said...
son I am / so proud. / just one word...backslider!
well I opened my eyes / and my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water / and thought I saw Jesus, and then...
well I threw up my hands!
and I heard, Amen! / and I prayed, sweet Jesus
don't let me become a backslider!
