47: T'S BORN AGAIN BLUES

                   

If I drink that wine who’ll take me home

If I drink that wine who’ll take me home?

I cannot face the next day all alone.

I’ll need someone to help me answer the phone.

I wish that I could start over again

I wish that I could start over again.

I would not take advantage of my friends,

Then, leave them, alone for themselves to fend.

To some people I might not look so bad

To some people I might not look so bad.

If they, could see, the motives that I’ve had,

That’s all, that it, would take to make them mad.

There’re times when I enjoy a little peace

There’re times when I enjoy a little peace.

When I fall, asleep there’s sweet release,

But not, for good, until I am decease.

Now I’m afraid I’ll get what I deserve

I’d like to think that fate’s thrown me a curve.

But off, the narrow path I tend to swerve,

To say no to the world takes more that nerve.

I need to find someone to take my place

I need to find someone to take my place.

Before I finally go down in disgrace,

Along with mostly all the human race.

I hope some day the guilt will set me free

I hope some day the guilt will set me free.

I hope some day my conscious lets me be.

I look at me and don’t like what I see.

I heard about a power that’s in this book

I heard about a power that’s in this book.

I thought that I had better take a look.

And, the words, I read to heart I took.

It promised that my life could be brand new

And I could change the things I always do.

And be, forgiven for bad things I’ve done too.

If only I believe it will be true.

 

If only I believe, (5 times )

​

It will be true!
