Grace On The Back Forty

Oh, Lord, oh-oh-oh!

I was lost, but you found me in the low place

And he has a call and response choir

I was selling death for blue face, call and response choir

Now I'm knee-deep in grace, call and response choir

Mama said, "Boy, you're lost" (call and response choir)

I said, "Mama, I've been found" (call and response choir)

Devil had an aux cord (call and response choir)

Now the choir got the sound

I was runnin' in a trap, now I'm runnin' to the light

Same tears on my face, but they're holy water tonight

Grace on the back 40, the road to salvation

Traded the stick for a Bible, still keep it on safety

I was 14 with a burner, 19 with a warrant

Judge read my future, sounded like a death warrant

Pumping in the cut, dodging red and blue lights

Now I'm pumping up the praise team Sunday mornings in Christ

Used to snort lines off the dresser, nose bleedin' like the lamb

Now I underline verses, hand shakin', but I am what I am

Still got the ink on my face, gold in my smile

But the cross on my chest, heavier than the streets by a mile

They say he won't change, I said, "Watch me flip the page"

Same hands wrappin' bricks, now I lift it up in praise

Heard mercy in the wind through the Georgia pines

Felt forgiveness in the sweat when I dropped that nine

Ain't no halo yet, but the mud on my boots getting cleaner

Every step away from the dark getting meaner

I was crappin' on a back porch, porch, porch

Grace on the back 40 (call and response choir)

Devil had an aux cord (call and response choir)

Same tears on my face, but they're holy water tonight

Grace on the back 40 (call and response choir)

Dirt road salvation, traded the stick for a Bible, still keep it on safety

Grace on the back 40, yeah

Crash the whip in the ditch, woke up singing hymns

Pastor pulled me from the wreck, said, "Son, this ain't the end"

I was high as a kite, but his spirit hit higher

He said, "Give me your pain," I said, "Here, take the fire"
