Well I ain't been baptized I ain't got no church No friend in Jesus And what makes matters worse I've lost myself Into the dark Scared and alone With no love in my heart Each day of sorrow Brings me closer to goodbye If I weren't so afraid I'd lay down and die I guard it so closely What I feel in my soul And when I received love I just let it go And I called out for help I found myself alone Did I believe anything? I don't know Each day of sorrow Brings me closer to goodbye If I weren't so afraid I'd lay down and die So all of you angels Don't waste your words Dog-gone my soul I aint' no good This life is too much trouble For a fellow like me If I had something to give you I'd give it to you for free Each day of sorrow Brings you closer to goodbye If I weren't so afraid I'd lay down and die Well I ain't been baptized I ain't got no church
