Verse 1
Well, the rain was a-fallin’ and the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people running from the flood
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man
For the Lord to come a-helpin' knowing he'd understand
Chorus
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
G D/F# Em C G/B | Am | % | % | % |
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right
Verse 2
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
She spent all day with the washing machine
But when it came to lovin' she was never around
She was out getting dirty all over town.
Chorus
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night

Verse 3
Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer, I said make it run
Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun
Verse 4
I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight, it'll put you on the right track
Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.
