Lick of Good, in E

I was lost, Dear Lord, without a Rifle
I was lost, Dear Lord, deep in your Wood
and I aint never seen this so called Devil
and Lord, you aint done me one Lick of Good

I was lost, Dear Lord, deep in your Cities
I was lost, without a Friend, Nickel or Dime
and the only time I heard you calling
was from an old payphone I’d just left behind

So Lord, if you won’t do even one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should
Now Lord, if you won’t do me one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should

Off the path, Dear Lord, I saw your babies
they were running bare into the eve
and I prayed, Oh Lord, that I could run with them
but a Christian Man, I could not be

So Lord, if you won’t do even one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should
Now Lord, if you won’t do me one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should

I was down, Dear Lord, in that Whale’s belly
I placed my Bets, knowing He was Yours
because nothing, I’ve seen, in all your Creation
has ever ushered Me safely Indoors

So Lord, if you won’t do even one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should
Now Lord, if you won’t do me one Lick of Good
Well then, nobody should, nobody should
