Those Poor Bastards - This world is evil lyrics

Ahhhhh Who will cast the first stone? Who will send me back home? Sin is eating up my bones I'm walkin with the Devil This world is so evil Lord, lord, lord Down there in old Arkansas They'll hang a man before his trial Beat him down and string him up Just to watch him suffer I knew a man from 'round those parts He had a kind of nervous heart Some friends of mine tore him apart I think he was my father Well, well, wella Satan is watching as you walk down the road Satan is watching as you sleep All I wants deliverance Free me from this terrible mess Lord, if you're hearin' this Give my spirit shelter Send some lightning from the clouds Get me off this dead-end road I will do just as I'm told Burn me to a cinder Take my soul up to the sky Like a vulture I will fly To this world I say goodbye Hello, Holy Savior!
