Bended knee
Nine years old
Waiting 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
Backslider
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
