They followed him for seven day
And lost him when he turned away
>From where they thought he would surely go
But they caught him up in Lewistown
And when they shot that convict down
They could hear him praying soft and slow
Deliver me let your waters wash over me
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
And I wanna come home
She was just a simple girl
Been a step behind a changing world
Ever since the day she was born
So she found herself a city Jim
He loved her for ahile and when
She cried as he walking out the door
Deliver me let your waters wash over me
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
And I wanna come home
You been using and you been using all your precious time
No use crying you've been trying to stay ahead
Fmajor
Of what you left behind
You oughta stop trying
I've been here for oh so long
Only barely holding on
To everything I always thought was true
But all my diamonds turned to dust
There's nowhere I can place my trust
Someone has the answer but I don't know who
Deliver me let your waters wash over me
Deliver me I'm lost and alone
And I wanna come home
