Well, the rain was a-falling 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
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
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
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
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.
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.
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
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
Solo:
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
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again.
