Been Around (Live)

I don't run from guilt you see

My conscience lets me know at least

A thousand times or better every day

Things I've done, mistakes I've made

Raised feelings I'll lay in some grave

If ever I am finally laid to rest

If there's time to pray before I die

I pray dear Lord you know that I

Was a righteous man that somehow lost his way

Face me down when I shout, "Pastor!" from a world

And kiss my ass if hell can't come and get me

From behind

I've danced in the flames

And I've been burned

I've walked on the harder side of life

I've taken all the wrong turns

I've been around, I've been down

I've been wasted

I fight with myself

Sometimes I lose

I've got me an angel on my shoulder

But I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around

And I get wasted

Yeah, twenty-seven years alone

I tried to make right all wrong

And I nearly died a few times on my way

I've seen the face of God firsthand

And I've danced with the devil, man

I've needed help from both of their hands

I've danced in the flames

And I've been burned

I've walked on the harder side of life

I've taken all the wrong turns

I've been around, I've been down

I've been wasted

I fight with myself

Sometimes I lose

I've got me an angel on my shoulder

But I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around

And I get wasted

I fight with myself

Sometimes I lose

I've got me an angel on my shoulder

But I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around

And I get wasted

I don't run from guilt you see

My conscience lets me know at least

A thousand times or better every day
