Lyrics
I barely made it three steps through the cold door
When I decided I couldn't take it anymore
Then I headed my way out to Santa Fe
Where we learned you can't drink all your pain away
Face to face on the fence
Bow my head, there's a voice that says
"Hurry up, son, it's getting late and
The devil falls at the end of the day
He's gonna tempt you, you're gonna shake
Get on your knees when you don't wanna pray
Fearing God will be your saving grace
He'll take you as you come now
He'll take you as you come now"
I wish I was 16 when I thought of that
I was broken and robbed of the light inside
So far down the beaten path
I sent up the last breath I had
Face to face on the fence
Bow my head, there's a voice that says
"Hurry up, son, it's getting late and
The devil falls at the end of the day
He's gonna tempt you, you're gonna shake
Get on your knees when you don't wanna pray
Fearing God will be your saving grace
He'll take you as you come now, oh
He'll take you as you come now
He'll take you as you come now"
And oh, fearing God will be your saving grace
Oh, and fearing God is the only way
He'll take you as you come now
