Verse 1
I got an interview right around noon
Hoping that I can get a job real soon
I know this old beat up chevy truck
Is getting tired of riding on fumes
I been smoking on the good stuff
And sippiping on the good wine
And I hope they dont ask me to piss in a cup
Cause I done already crossed the line
Im searching for the answers and Im living on a prayer
And when the lonely nights get hard to bear
I wish somebody else was there
I need someone to call on
But I cant afford a phone
And when I made it back from the bar last night
I found out that my baby was gone
Chorus
And I need an angel
And I need a prayer
I need someone to take my hand right now
I need someone to take me there
Take me to the altar
So I can dance in the water
Take me to the altar
So I can dance with the father
Verse 2
Outside of the liquor store thinking
$2 dollars in my pockets 12 steps away from drinking
My ex-wife said I cant see my son
My radiator running hot and yeah my day just begun
Feeling like Im losing my mind and my relegion
Like every other man thats been caught up in the system
Dont remember the last time that I went to church
Said a prayer last night and Im hoping it work
If I can make it to the first when I get my last check
I can pay a couple bills and they wont disconnect
Heard the fat lady singing that Im long over due
Now my landlords knocking got me singing the blues
People telling me that I need to change
A bunch of dirt backstabbers I aint saying no names
Where was yall when I needed a hand?
Jeremiah:29 it wasnt part of his plan
Chorus
And I need an angel
And I need a prayer
I need someone to take my hand right now
I need someone to take me there
Take me to the altar
So I can dance in the water
Take me to the altar
So I can dance with the father
3rd verse
Thinking back to when I went to the pool
My momma wouldnt let me swim unless I went to sunday school
I was reading out the bible like a priest
Till the boyz in the hood introduced me to the streets
The c**aine, pretty women and the money
Fast lane speeding like a crash dummy
Dice game gambling in the backroom
Fornicating with a neighbor cheating in the living room
Man Im glad he dont judge me the past
Cause if he did I would of died on the slab
Drinking and driving when I crashed my truck
You can blame it on a fifth of that kentucky deluxe
Now that Im sober I can see a little clearer
Cathch me staring at the world through my rearview mirror
Wanna dance with the father wont you take me by the hand
But Im just a little nervous wont you take me to the man
