Capo 7th fret
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 praying man
For the Lord to come a-helpin, knowing He'd understand
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and 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 the day with the washing machine
But when it came to lovin', she was never around
She was out gettin' dirty, all over town
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and 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 the 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
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and 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 over verse chords
Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and 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
